What can it be, im looking for something like an elephant in a wind tunnel type of car, i want to drive it and see how it feels
 
Honda Element?

The '70 Charger seems pretty draggy, bug blunt end and some versions had large extentions either side of the rear window. There's a little Honda with a strange rear window slope that would be draggy were it fast enough. Anything with a big flat rear end (Jeep/Estate). If we're talking about pure drag then the FGT, F2007, F10 or X1/X2010 because they create so much downforce. An F1 car has a drag coefficient of around 0.7 to 1.0, whereas my crappy old vectra has a CD of about 0.26.
 
If you're looking for something with a lot of power, I'd say Suzuki ESCUDO. That thing can hit 370 km/h (230 mph) easily when slipstreaming, maybe more. Try overtaking the car you're slipstreaming and you'll see your speed slowly dropping to 320 km/h (200 mph) or less. It's like driving a gigantic shoe box with a rocket engine.

I used to own/drive an Element... They aren't as bad as one might think when it comes to aerodynamics. The only reason I sold it was because my newborn daughters car seat was a certified pain in the ass to access in it.

Loved that rubber interior though... it laughed at winter slush and summer sand.
 
Jay Leno Tank Car? I guess its kinda aerodynamic in shape but its still an elephant turd on wheels.
 
Honda Life Step Van no doubt...

No, the frontal area's smaller than a shoe :D

It'll be one of the biggies like the Range Rover concept. Drag efficiency is relative, the overall aerodynamic properties are mostly affected by the size of the leading cross-section.
 
yea its official its the samba, the front is flat and that just kills the thing
That's what most people think at first sight. But the VW Bus officially has better aerodynamics than a Lamborghini Countach. Unbelievable, but true!
 
@LTRules21 - You can search the internet if you don't believe me. Despite it's breathtaking wedge-form, the Countach has one of the worst aerodynamics in the history of car-manufacturing. Wikipedia says cW 0,47 for the Countach, while the VW-Bus has 0,44
Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on the Countach - it's my CAR OF THE CENTURY :D
