Any reference to a race car to back up the pointy nose theory is totally moot. There are very few cars on the road that have a higher .Cd than an F1 car. They are not designed to cut through the air - they are designed to scoop under it and generate 5g's of downforce. Simply look at the list of the lowest .Cd cars in the world and you'll see that the pointer nose is not used. Period.
