whats the optimal body shape for this car?

the subsonic land speed record cars are a good inspiration?





why are those cars so long? the optimal shape of 3.92:1 is shorter.
i'm imagining a car like that but with open wheels. what do you think?
Landspeed legend Breedlove, created an open-wheeled dragster for aerodynamic demo purposes. NHRA used wheel pants for while but deemed it sketchy after several crashes, but drivers swear it did not affect their safety and was not dangerous. http://www.nhra.com/blog/popup.aspx?...PictureId=7769
