As usual I've been drawing up one version or another of an aerodynamic car, been attempting to avoid using a custom very curved windshield and yet still have a teardrop shaped glass canopy. My fear is this would make for some acute angles that air might have a hard time staying attached to, plus might look funny at certain angles.

Unfortunately, the car below confirms the front 3/4 view is most odd, but is it lack of curved (Stratos Lancia style) windshield, or is it just all the other quirkiness?

I guess it's not so bad, kind of Daytona Prototype first generation with that too vertical side glass..
