The whole wind resistance thing is a bunch of BS. It's an excuse the bean counters use to screw up pretty cars. Thats all.
Fact: Air resistance does not become a considerable factor until gross wind velocity (the speed of the car plus the speed of a headwind) reaches approximately 120MPH. A beater with a measly 100 bhp can get up to 120 hp eventually because drag is not much of an issue until then. Now, if the speed limit on the highway was 160mph instead if 65 or 70 mph, wind tunnel testing and drag would be a crucial consideration. . . but it's not
