How aerodynamic do you think the Golden Sub is?

how good

I've never seen numbers reported for this car.For lower drag,a full streamliner body is used,enclosing the wheels.Even with the larger frontal area,the overall drag is reduced.
So-Cal Speed Shop did such a thing with their famous belly-tank lakester.
GM did it with a March Indycar chassis,creating the OLDS AEROTECH of 1987.
The drag can be cut in half this way.
