*The premise of aerodynamic streamlining is to reduce,or eliminate flow separation on the bluff body.
*The last thing in the world that you'd want,is a vortex in front of the car.This would destroy the flow all over the car.
*The 'high' pressure in front of cars is not a problem and never will be.
*The problem is the low base pressure behind the car,something the RIW cannot address.
*The RIW fails theoretically.It's performance premise is completely removed from the realities of physics.
*You'd do just as well to paint your car Baker-Miller Pink.
