cosmick - Yes sir! I would say the space savers have good aerodynamics, being closed off and producing little turbulence. They also tucked mt tire in by slightly less than 1/2". That will make front skirts easier to make, increasing my aero! |
Yes but acceleration in general is not a linear aspect, those hills you drive up on the highway are now going to take twice the effort to climb, so what you see in benefit from coasting may quickly turn into loss from trying to stay at speed up hills
