4) 'many' cars does not constitute 'all' cars. Measure a 'Kamm-back' and report back.( Renault Vesta-II, Mercedes-Benz Bionic Boxfish, Mercedes-Benz IAA, with tail extended etc..)
What, so it is actually a theory that applies only to three cars in the entire world? Sorry, I would have thought we're interested in theory that applies to the cars we're working on - you know, the ones we're modifying.

Yet again, an Aerohead theory that doesn't match reality.
