You are focusing on the loft line (profile) and ignoring the wheelwells.

In turns the top of a tire doesn't move in/out as much as the middle of the wheel/tire. A uniform radius from the resting center of the wheel is sub-optimal.

that it's nose is nothing remarkable,although it does have a complete boat-tailed rear. :thumbup:

Or maybe it's a bluff nose with a low stagnation point, and a rear end that is too fast—intentionally, to improve cooling air intake—but too fast none-the-less. The narrowed front axle is good prep for front wheel skirts.

What a corrected Beetle body might look like.

if you take all of his best of each category you get Cd 0.245 (in 1969)

One of these is optimal but I'm not sure which. :confused:

aerohead -- So I try to get by with a rerun, and you throw out a whole bunch of new stuff. :thumbup: I think I'd seen only the last two before.

The first one is fun! For the Beetle, I get A-2 B-2 C-1 D-1 E-7 F-1 G-6 H-4. Is there a secret decoder key?

Frank Lee -- It's a setup. You want us to have to admit it's that first one. :eek: I'm going to go with:

It's all about the fineness ratio.

Fineness ratio? I thought it was about fuselage length.
