I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not.

Aerodynamics = the way air moves around the car.

Efficient = the easiest and most effective way to do something with the smallest amount of waste.

Therefore....

Aerodynamically efficient = the best way to maximize airflow around the car with as little waste as possible.

That's obviously what they were trying to do with the Enzo/FXX. They sacrificed beauty for aerodynamics. That's why it doesn't need a rear spoiler. I believe the beauty of the Enzo is in it's function.

FXX because its not just buying a car, its an experience. All those track days and development work. Plus it is more powerful

Slow? Like, compared to an F-22 Fighter jet? Or to the speed of a comet? Or what? You need to get out of the world of cars that you ALSO can't afford and realize that the 360 would destroy over 99.99% of EVERYTHING on the road. There are few cars that match it, much less beat it. The car is also over 6 years old.

I had a feeling, but you can't always be sure.

yeah, it is a little hard to detect sarcasm if you can't hear my voice.

Aren't you a clever boy?

Did you come up with that opinion all by yourself? I'm surprised you can even wipe your own ass, let alone log into a website. Go worship at your altar of Clarkson, and stop plaguing this site with bulls**t.
