I want to have fun, but makes me think if I get pretty decent efficiency cruising now imagine if I got the .45 cd down to .3.

Like to hear what you guys think would be beneficial without ruining looks and while creating downforce and not disrupting airflow to cool the radiator.
Needless to say ... you don't want to hear what I have to say.

Which is your goals are at cross-purposes. To get to 0.30 Cd, you will need to improve the looks. Sorry, that's just the way it is.

Long story short: Stanced with a shooting brake/boat-tail.

Edit: Almost forgot, if you are looking for downforce without adding drag, look to the VW GTI W12-650:



You can keep the stock top and add sail panels and a wing without adding frontal area. Similar to the new Ford GT40.

Thanks kach22i, although I prefer the red Audi floorpan pic:



Could you sketch up a 'Vette with a Charger-style wing that fits within The Template? It would be narrower than the taillights and a little taller than the stock spoiler. Pleeez?
