Thank you for clarifying the edge radius, when I scale my model the sides are about 30" high, so that would be a 3" radius for me.

I'm very curious as to what the Cd sans wing on that form will be.

The Top Gear video said the Koenigsegg has a very low Cd, but failed to provide an actual number - the *******s.

I bet you are right about the 5-Part race car, but letting all that air pass cannot be a bad thing, can it?

I bet it has to do more with turns and cross winds than anything else.
