I think the aero lessons of the DC3 would apply to cars more than those of the Concorde and the F16.

Super sonic (air travelling more quickly than the speed of sound) aero has a totally different set of parameters than sub sonic aerodynamics.
This principally due to compression at Mach One and above which simply does not apply to road vehicles.

An interesting article none the less.

Cheers , Pete.
