Let's look at the bullet from the perspective of the force to move the mass. Look at how the force is applied to the mass v/s say a AA/TF Dragster. Notice the similarities or not??
Hahaha! Intelligence, that's a first! I just read too much, mostly theory with me, hardly ever get to try any of it!

But yeah, the underside is the "roughest" part of the vehicle, so may as well limit the air it has to deal with.

I'll take a shot at the dragster analogy, the force, tires, are linear with the rest of the vehicle, as opposed to a typical truck being on top of them.
