Even funnier is that of the six cars being used to disprove the "template", five fit the AST-II diagram perfectly and the other one is streamlined from top view, begging the question why you thought it was appropriate to do a side view overlay on it?

Those professional aerodynamicists might not use the diagram, but boy their cars sure like to land on it...

I don't know why you blame the website for your use of your favorite AST-I diagram. Other people have successfully navigated to the prevalently used diagram. Most people click more than one link on websites to find their desired information.

What would be really really funny would be a remake of the video, same cars and same script, using the AST-II.
