Thanks. The Cd gets short shrift. A good presentation otherwise.

I disagree that the C-pillars overall shape is wrong (2:17). I think the drip rail acts as a vortex generator.

Agreed there is too much underbody flow (2:21). If you look at Beetles modified for high speed, they're stanced nose down so the underbody is a divergent plenum counteracting those vortexes at the rear.

They also have a dog-house box below the rear window where separation would occur.
