Damian Harty makes some very good points about geometry effects in that they don't fundamentally alter the vehicle characteristics, but they can dramatically alter the perception to the driver. Therefore it seems odd to remove much of that opportunity by dumping any geometrical effects.

Actually I use the "Zero" car example as a way to explain the complex situation of many geometry angles involved in a race car. If we theoretically start off with a "Zero" car, we may then add just those components we do need, (for the driver or the car). Then those components will be balanced to the situation, no more no less a no unnecessary.
