At the time when I conceived of this, I was going with a FWD motor, but there are several other options.

I think that the best chance of this project going forward - is to scan the car that I have, so it can be a "solid" 3D model, and get CFD run on it. I tried umpteen time to try to get my SketchUp model into a computer model that would work for CFD - but it is "leaky" as hell.

3D scanners are becoming quite reasonable, and this would allow for corrections of my wobbly form. If anyone has suggestion on this, I would love to hear them.
