It's not completely inaccurate. Windtunnel testing is very expensive. The underbody in even fast streetcars is overvalued. It's very different from a racecar like an Indy or F1. The hype of underbody-tuning is related to the fact that up to the 90ies the underbody of streetcars has been poorly neglected. Aerotuning in fast streetcars is a very demanding occupation. How to create a car that is able to drive at high speed with good control over it. The NSX-R is still one of the ones who stand out, still nowadays.

 

Wheels: the bigger, the more exposed, the more open holes (the 'sportier') -> the worse. The NSX with his smaller wheels has an advantage here.
