*It's a good question and I have no way to answer it. Until we construct a larger data base,all we can say for certain is that this particular car,under these conditions,exhibited these results.
*The VW Flow body has a perfectly smooth belly and its drag INCREASES from Cd 0.913,to 0.10 as it goes from 0.04 L= G.C.,to G.C. = zero.A complete trend reversal!
*Ford provides us with zero data on the PROBE-IV,except in the lowered and raked attitude,with the deployable front spoiler extended.So in a sense,we've learned nothing other than the obvious.
