I'm sorry, but is there even a metric (or other for that matter) unit for aerodynamics? The lobster is also not used as a base either. Then the second picture would need to read the wrangler is 30 lobsters of air resistance or something like that.
Yes, for resistance by pressure (instead of resistance by creating waves and resistance by viscosity) you can use the (common) drag equation; F(D)=0,5rhov2C(D)A.
You can compare C(D) (drag constant, fixed by shape) and A (frontal area) of objects.
And yes here lobsters aren't used as a unit, so bad OP
The noble lobster should be the base unit of all measurements.
The average size of a lobster will be the base unit of size, the average temperature of a lobster could be the base unit of temperature, and the average quantity of fluid found inside of a lobster should be the base unit of liquid volume.
Nearly (exceptions obviously exist!) every underwater creature is more fluid-dynamic (air is a type of fluid) than any land creature or machine because water is so much denser, so, to be able to have any speed in water (in order to escape predators) creatures must evolve be highly fluid-dynamic (even if they don’t look it!) Lobsters are no exception.
I had a 99, and I can say this is absolutely true. If I was driving and got a crosswind I’d turn on the corresponding turn signal and just go with it. Easier than fighting it
A lobster does not need tobe aerodynamic, it moves slowly though water. Who wants to buy a Jeep wrangler, it spends most of its time in a garage, being repaired.
Water is a lot denser than air, so it pays to be hydrodynamic if you do any moving in it, and hydrodynamic and aerodynamic are very close. The classic droplet shape we see on the lobster is a good shape for hydro- and aerodynanic things.
That said, the main issue here is probably that the entire concept of a two person wide upright seating arrangement with a windshield in front of it isn't very aerodynamic. I doubt even the fastest sportscars have even close to as little air resistance as say a person laying down head first. And I don't have a good explanation for why humans would have to be aerodynamic like that.

A lobster would create exactly one lobster of drag at lobster speed
I would argue that a lobster would create one lobster of drag at any speed

There's a reason why they put a lobster in the nativity play in Love Actually. No good thing without a lobster.
Yeah it will be some fluid dynamic term like a Reynolds number or similar. They tend to be dimensionless. Nice rabbit hole for you to explore.
Coefficient of drag is fairly common
Actual drag depends on speed and stuff
But the lobster isn’t being used as a unit of measurement, just as a comparison

See also the difference between a tortoise and a sea turtle of equivalent size.
To be fair, the Jeep Wrangler is less aerodynamic than a rhinoceros, a boxcar, and quite large rocks. Source: I drive one.

Saying something is less than something else doesn’t assume that thing is a unit of measure.
Even less hydrodynamic
Task master had a whole episode where they used the lobster as the base unit 😂
It's because of the great speed of lobsters.
Yeah but can a lobster do 40 mph cross country in the low desert at noon.
If you taught the lobster how to drive a Jeep it could!
Teach a lobster to drive. Give a mouse a cookie. Cats and dogs living together in sin. It's a slippery slope you're proposing there, stranger.
Jeeps are very harmful to the environment, which is why their drag is a kilolobster
I would imagine the lobster is more hydrodynamic as well.
Yeah but the lobster can’t hold a family of 4 and their dog.
Depends on the size of the lobster
People will come up with any excuse to make sure I have to see this fucking image on my recommended again
All good things with a lobster.
Elden Ring agrees with you.

So that we can fly up during the rapture with less air resistance, duh.
I think a lot of the land speed record cars had the driver laying down
Lobsters absolutely need to be aero/hydrodynamic, because they move slowly through water
If they weren't constructed so that water moved around them, strong currents would lift them up and carry them away like sea weed
