Does it -really- matter what the wind tunnel shows?
Does it matter if it's 30 seconds slower or faster over an Ironman distance (and would those tests be repeatable) for the average rider, compared to a P5??
I believe even Rappstar said that all the 'super bikes' are so close it doesn't matter, its more about all the other stuff - your position, helmet, etc.
Even if he does in fact release tunnel data, it's just going to be picked apart for whatever reason and thus won't mean anything. It'll either be he picked the wrong tunnel, he didn't have a rider, he tested the wrong yaw, wrong wheels, wrong tires, etc...
I think the bike looks awesome, but I'm not too keen on being one of the $5k testers... :(
