But what of the higher pressure that results from all of that air smacking into itself ? Does this indeed induce turbulence , or am I just misunderstanding ?
I guess what I am asking is if
AndrewJs' Civic would have the same .Cd if he made a more rounded front end like the AeroCRX project here on this site.
Andrews' front end is barn door flat, but has a good curve along the edges like the Prodigy picture I posted above, so my guess would be that there would be no change .... but my
gut feeling is that if he had a pointed nose on the car it would create less drag.
I'm just confused.
