That nice smooth taper aft of the wheel is producing some sideways lift, eh? (trying to speak your language, eh?
)
Lift does produce drag. It would be an infinitesimal improvement, but I wonder if you could eliminate the production of lift without increasing drag? This got me thinking about lift produced elsewhere on cars, but maybe that should be discussed elsewhere...
Again, it looks really really good, MetroMPG! Now get cracking on the other side, mister!
