[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 889401, member: 22662"] not true really. Even semi's frequently use air dams on the top of tractors to reduce drag co-efficient which is improving aerodynamics. Vehicles large and small use aluminum block engines, plastics, etc to reduce weight and thus performance. Really I was referencing the three wheeled vehicle article and suggesting what is true for any vehicle: lower weight combined with better aerodynamics yields a better platform for performance and efficiency. Case in point: the old grand prig racing bikes only put out about 60 hp but could reach speeds of 120 mph. In fact, what has been gained in engine technology is oft given back in aerodynamics? Why? Because aerodynamic properties don't look" cool". [/QUOTE]
