The base is the same cross section.......the nose is the same.......if the nose
is aerodynamic standard shape......the 6 degrees will be faster by
aerodynamic....if both cars got still the same weight and the weight is on the
identical position.
You can create a very easy water tunnel test, all the time the same water
pressure with the differnet model shapes and a scale.....less weight on the
scale means better aerodynamic shape.
