Possibly this weekend I'll grab an old magazine article I have at my home, I think from hotrod mag of an 89 NASCAR Monte Carlo vs. a Lemans Porsche LMP car. Despite the Monte Carlo having a near stock-car body and obviously a boxier car, was able to reach higher top-speeds and had less of a Cd. thanks to it's smaller frontal area.

[...] But the man who creates the music is hearing something else, is dealing with the roar rising from the void and imposing order on it as it hits the air. What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues
