Ok. So teardrops are good low drag shapes. Can I assume that if you make the nose 'pointier' and use a curve flatter than 6 degrees on the back that the Cd drops until at some point the gains are off

My take on ground clearance and NT is that NT works well because it keeps the vast majority of the air out from under the car. Put a car close to the ground and put air under it and it will resemble
