I've been eyeballing the back of the car, and I wonder what gains there would be going to a fastback. I thought I read somewhere that if you end up with an angle between 15 and 30 degrees it was worse for drag then cutting a steeper angle and letting the air seperate.
On account of safety concerns from one of our team members the roof is staying on and we'll put lexan in where the glass we need to remove was.

In Hucho's book and the papers which became part of it,the researchers say,stay away from 28-degrees.It's the angle from Hell!
