David--
Maybe I shouldn't be saying this publicly; but as I look back at some of
these big money efforts-------they do tend to play somewhat fast and loose
with frontal area. Seems like they get all excited over wind tunnel tests,
streamlining tricks and engineering for minimum CD and place less emphasis
on the fact that it's a coefficient that gets multiplied times frontal area!
