* The physical parameters necessary for the development and maintenance of attached flow cannot vary too far from where we actually find them.
* If you look around, you may discover successful 'shapes' used by others to achieve low drag.
* For the necessary attached flow, any 'angle' measured, will be strictly dependent upon it's location along the continuous, uninterrupted, graduated curve of such shapes.
* The amount of body elongation determines the 'limit' as to how much of the contour will exist, and by default, the maximum 'angle' which can be realized.

* If you have a straight-edge, in excess of the length of the Hyundai, if mounted parallel to the centerline of the car, you should be able to examine where different locations of body camber began, and how 'evolved' the curvature is, say, from the rocker panels, to the roof, and each of these contours will define how far you can go at each elevation, ascending from bottom to top, as if drawn out into space with an enormous french curve drafting instrument.
