Not to pick on you.
But lets talk about this further. Given what you said about macro vs. micro then does that mean there is no difference among sedan bodies of relatively the same shape?
So a Protoform Mazda 6 is the same as a Dodge Stratus 2.0 & 3.0 and also the Nemesis and CTS? As well as the Losi Alfa, the Losi Skoda? And all other sedan bodies like the Ride TSX and so on... In other words there are no aerodynamic differences among them because the differences are minor (ie micro). Hence any body will do.
Lets talk about that. BTW some bodies are stiffer than others, so lets weight that factor into the discussion.
