It's that the number one rule is testing is required, ABA is preferred, backed up with long turn tank to tank results .

Everything is a suggestion and requires testing to determine if it fits in your use case, as you and I have come to the conclusion of on YouTube, not every rule Works in every use case .

This will be a good throttle stop test for anyone who happens to have an Insight with Factory wheels and a roll of duct tape to add to the knowledge.

Would higher % throttle be better in this instance?

Accuracy check: The smaller the Delta Cd the higher the speed/throttle % is needed to make it show above the noise.

Why am I so passionate about aerodynamics and learning in general because they said it's a waste of time just drive the thing, and then they are astounded at the results. Driving is my therapy, the more efficiently I can make my tool/truck the more therapy I get, it's a bang for the buck kind of thing. Yes I could trade my multi-tool in for a single-use tool commuter car but that kind of ties my hands on doing things that make me, me.
