I'd very much like to see what your exchanges actually were, and did some things get lost in translation between an engineer-aeronautical engineer- aerodynamicist, and a sociologist-geographer.

The reality is that not only was a professional aerodynamicist (Dick Barnard) used as a technical consultant throughout the book's development (reviewing every paragraph), but the book was also reviewed in detail by another three experts as it was being written (ie I sent them each chapter in turn and they wrote extensive comments).
Since publication, the book has been reviewed by a further three professional aerodynamicists (you know, like the current head of Porsche aero) who have also given me extensive feedback.
None of the feedback from these professional car aerodynamicists would cause me to change the book sections you say are incorrect.
So I could believe what five top experts in car aerodynamics tell me - or I could believe Aerohead on Ecomodder. Hard choice, I know.
