Though, at that, if you've got some real skill, a Saab 900 windshield, raked back further, might be a nice efficiency improvement or a start to a complete custom canopy.
I'm talking about a completely custom vehicle. With a custom body. I'm wondering whether to make it into as perfect a tear-drop shape as is possible for a car, or go a route similar to basjoos, where there is still a recognizable front compartment.

Certainly there's some to be gained... But I'm wondering if I can even achieve .11, and if I can't, whether it would be a good compromise to go with a design known to achieve .17.
