I made a comment earlier about being open to new ideas on old proven methods.
I used the Template as an example.
This was just based purely on my own observation with cars such as the A class, which drops sharply from the template and has a very short trunk / boot as well.
I didn't know until just now that so much of this bickering was regarding the template.
I'll give yet another example using the same car : the A class front end. Not only does that car have a drooped rear, but also a front end that has these two massive scoops on the front.
Traditional wisdom tells us to either round off the nose of the car, or drop it low for a low stagnation point.
Just going on looks alone, it's hard to believe that the car has a .21 Cd.
After seeing some of the videos posted by the team A2 windtunnel, nothing surprises me as much as it used to.
