Okay. This is way-cool. But are these claims all believable? Specific claims like this from another modder or from someone hawking a product on this site we would all rightly question. What about with Chevy? How do they arrive at these figures? Recently Ford claimed better aero for one of its vehicles than, I think, the Prius, but their Cd number for the Prius was different than Toyota's (higher, surprise surprise). Such variation raises the question of the "objectivity" of industry self-reporting of these results and how they may be manipulated for marketing, no?
