I'll keep relating to (sorry) NASCAR. I think it's the main reasoning (drag) for cowl induction. Bill Elliot was thought to have the greatest motors in his day. However I saw him interviewed once recently. He said that's not what they had. They were building their bodies to as exact minimal dimensions at every point on their cars. With the simple thought the less cubic inches the body had, the easier it would knife through the air. He was known to be a super speedway demon. Makes sense and they also sold a lot of motors! LOL

I'm halfway through the video and thinking. Putting an elongated hardtop on your Cobra has got to be very beneficial? Back to the vid!
