The think about the Hydras is the price (compared to the Phoenix) and need to replace the water-cooling tubes with a finned heatsink...

One thing I know though, is if you use the general shape of fish... if you have some gold fish, these have a nice curve ratio that is appealing to a car body.

I have heard Mercedes made a van that has 80mpg and doesn't even look aerodynamic really, they used a 'box fish' design.

Another thing I know is to keep the front profile shorter and more rain drop looking, and the tailing end more prolonged (fish like).


I agree, someone else said a while back that frontal area has little to do with aero's.... it's all to do with the profile. Anyways, I better stop, I am yabbering again. ;)
