Now to get back to the point of this thread

Lowering the Porsche and Fusion definitely shows big improvements over stock aerodynamics.

Car manufacturers could over time impliment an active suspension system with sensors in the front bumper that could lower and raise the car according the conditions instantaneously.

It could detect rough roads, potholes, speed bumps and dead animals and adjust accordingly.

If manufacturers are the meet CARB expectations, we might see this in the future.
