That's what 'templates' do.  |
So every car fits a "template" because every car is a template, so what is the point of having a template. To get low drag you need a template you keep saying, and then keep claiming that everything is a template.
"5) The fact is, that for half-bodies, the 'template' is the lowest drag form ever measured. If you take exception to that, I recommend that you take it up with those who measured it."
Maybe it is the lowest drag half-body, what is the relevance of that? It is easily possible to go lower drag by using a non-half body.
