The automakers have hedged their bets by going to the hidden shutter system which takes it's cue from an array of sensors,which help to optimize its performance.
Some members have articulated 'doors' on their blocks,and with a thermocouple and temp display,can alter the cooling capacity of the car as they drive.OR,with a sensor pack,servo motor, and MPGuino-based logic,have an automatic system which does the same thing as the big dogs.
You might keep an assortment of block panels with you in the webbed storage behind the seats and change them around as weather conditions dictate.

Thanks for all the info, I will take your advice and have different sized blocks in the car. What style of block do you think would be more aerodynamic? Type 1 or type 2?
