Think about the difference. There's a big one.

Same as I am doing now on my new history of suspension book.
* I would recognize Hucho as one for whom I've read, book-wise. And I've already qualified him as the only member of your team I recognize which has been personally associated with vehicles of significant low drag. Not only did I read Hucho, I followed his parametrics and to good effect.
* One with a six-figure salary, free laboratory, and free materials might be expected to 'produce' something.
* PhDs, in the United States, on condition of their doctorate degree, are required to publish, regularly, so that doesn't strike me as anything unusual.
* I don't know what your PhDs drive, but I've driven some of the highest fuel economy cars since 1974, to help pay homage to what the PhDs published.
* I would have to strain myself to consider any product Jaguar or Land Rover ever produced which moved the ball, in a timely fashion. Maybe 40-years after the fact.
* Thomas Wolf talked of the 911 spoiler just as I. That backfired on you.
* Jeff Howell came up with the same drag value for an 18% body length diffuser after you jumped me for saying the same thing about the same diffuser from a different author.
* You've publicly discounted the value and data from both DARKO and A2 Wind Tunnels, while Hucho has doesn't appear to have a problem with either of them.
The store's closing in a few minutes. I'll pick back up on this next week, if I haven't gone out of town.
