What is the base thickness?
The 27 vertical inches of the side, or the six foot width of the body?
Going with the first one, 2.7" radius is more curved than many cars out there.
The second number is around a 7 inch radius, so I don't think it's that, seems a bit much.

I can feel (seat of the pants) aero-treatments on my truck in the 30-35 mph range. I'm a big fan of down-force, too many examples of aero-looking cars requiring rear spoilers (ie Audi TT) to stay on the road to think it is not a real world issue.
