Agian, useing this example just think of how non-aerodynamic a freightliner 
is.  Look at the surface area of one of those, then look at the viper.  Air 
can be considered a fluid, like water.  Just think of all that "fluid" the 
freightliner has to push out of the way to get to high speeds, whereas the 
Viper just needs to move like 100 times less out of the way.
