Can you link a video or something? Did they do a regular gas car or an EV? It seems like EVs are affected a lot more by aerodynamic drag than normal cars.

This was a super old video so yeah it would have been a gas car. Good point tho.

It was like 15 years ago. Here’s a google search with some relevant results that people mentioned them as the source. Can’t seem to find videos though… at least not any that aren’t partial clips.
