Undoubtedly.

However, wouldn't making an airfoil shape increase frontal area?
Well actually, it was changed by a mod because his original title was pretty rude. He is saying that a flat belly pan make no difference from leaving the car plain, without one. That s where the big hoo ha has come from, as many people were upset about that claim, since people here with credibility have done meticulous testing and have yielded results. So he hasn't posted or been on since the 19th, at the latest.

There was a communication of peoples frustration of word choices and miscommunication through text. It appears that upset him, and he has only returned once since.
