George, it's not that the thing won't work-it might- it's just that it won't work optimally. You may have nice, attached flow, but that doesn't mean you didn't leave more aero gains on the drawing table, so to speak. Putting a boat tail on an existing car helps its aero, but still has areas to improve upon. No production car is perfect in this respect, so if you're going to start from scratch why not use the template properly?
