They aren't all that aerodynamic either, they could do a lot better.
The cost has laways been high, relatively, A fixed location vacation home, or an all-aluminum, aero TT with independent suspension. Both are financed the same way with second mortgages. But the AS can go wherever you want it to go. True now or in 1965. Cheap if you actually understand whta you are getting for that money which is decades of service, not a half dozen years. So buy a used one. Ten years old is still a new AS.

The shape and layout has been been pretty well standardized since the mid-1960's. As to how areo they are I'd suggest you aren't thinking of how they're used. And that is stationary. Interior space layout is central.

They're on-road performance speaks for itself. Nothing else comes close . . and in this we speak of braking and handling. As to MPG, a turbodiesel tow vehicle will be the champ. Breaking into the 20's is not a challenge.
