What software do you use to show 3d images such as your Beetle? I would love to use it to get a better idea of how the rear is going to play out. 2D only gets me so far.

It appears that L starts when the curve is beginning. So as far as a bluff body vehicle as my ZX2, L would start at the ends of the bumper, perhaps after a Kammback to get the body shape? The distance of L is what is added on IMO. The 22* conical tail end would be the sides from looking from the top I presume?

I have the coastdown testing completed! I will post the results later in a different thread, and add a linkback to this forum.
