I've been thinking about this thread lately.
In the video he describes the 1989 Colani Corvette Charisma, as an upside down wing -
it's all about down-force........he adds.
Interesting in that this is what the GM engineers were attempting to do with the 63 Stingray, except they did't clean up the belly enough to pull it off - and then decided it didn't work, so it remained an above deck styling exercise.

I've been altering my standard aerodynamic car design which I sketch up over and over again on grid paper to now incorporate more sweep in the tail - creating an inverted wing. It's growing on me, maybe I'll post it later.
