Obviously! So my point is that it's of use only to people who want to use an old reference.

Ah, Aerohead and his habit of altering the meanings of words to suit himself. Attached flow that really isn't, things like that. Now 'production car' is the same as 'one-off concept car'. Amazing.

* If you allow for the cooling system drag ( 0.025 ), and drag due to the under floor mutilation of a conventional ICE vehicle ( 0.010 ), there isn't a production vehicle available in 2020 which has a lower drag than the 1975 CR 25.

* The 2023 Lucid Air, @ Cd 0.21 would be the first, if you forget the Cd 0.197 EV1 of 1996.
So what? You're talking production cars versus a one-off concept car. And even that argument fails because you have left out at least two production cars! What a weird argument.

What an odd thing to write.

* This is 'CONTEXT' for your assessment of contemporary publications.
PS , I don't care what YOU think. (as far as I can discern, you're incapable of it)
Returns to personal insults. The veneer is paper-thin isn't it?
