But why compare to such expensive sports cars that actually produce downforce at speed thus having higher Cd? There isn't any actual benefit in performance due to this lower Cd because 1. it means the car will be unstable at high speeds and 2. it is not like 86 is trying to set the top speed record. The only benefit that I can think of is lower gas mileage. If Porsche and Ferrari wanted to make their cars' Cd as low as possible, they would have found ways to do it for sure.

I really find it silly that they bring up cars like 458 and 911 turbo, anyway.
