here now, frank!
The hood skin on my RA65 used to start to shake up&down in teh stalled air over 180KPH...!
But the Aston just r0xx0rz... damn fast for a fat pig too!
mmm...luxury weight. whassat?
BTW - the cD (coeff. of drag) works out better on 20's 30's tall-boy designs that most low/wide cars. go figure.
Has to do with frontal area.
and more of the taller thing has to do with cabin space (cab forward crap) and hey - aren't Americans overweight anyway? they don't NEED the shoulder room then...
And so on.
From an engineering stand, there's great gains to be had for usable space and crashworthiness with most of the new designs.
That said, I don't like many of them.
And nice low cars will always be the standard for "supercars" since ya need a low CG (center o Gravity) to cope with 1+G cornering. hehehe
