Al's gonna close the store in 7-minutes so I'm out of time basically.
Like the others,I'm concerned with the flanks,aft of the fenders.Your source flow at the nose is good,but the fender truncation will destroy the rectilinear flow to the tail,which can't 'sink' unless the onset flow is exceptional.
I've gor the same issue with the mini-hypercar.I will enclose this entire area with 'pod' for storage and side crumple zone to provide the gentle plan taper to the rear which the tail needs to function.
Your foundation is real good.Wish you didn't have the short deadline.
