Here's an Aerodynamic Question: (somebody has to know the answer!)

What is the Coeffecient of Drag for the stock CL/CL-s?
Is it above 0.30?

...please note that for example, the Celica is .34
the SC430 is .28, and LS is .29, the old Z-car for example was .29, and the G35 is .28

I am sure those of you with atleast a 2 inch drop have better #'s

I am guessing/hoping to be below <.30 !!! (...somedays there's a lot of wind noise/factor)
...the dealer guys were clueless on this, not surprised!

 

well 25 views and no posts?!?!

Anyone know if the TL has a lower Co. of drag?
...anyone outther with body kits and access to a physics lab?
Its just academics or bragging rights, wonder wath the E46 3-series has for drag coefficient???:P

 

I don't think there's an answer to this one...

I might have some aerodynamic info on that Press CD I have at home.
I’ll check tonight.

OH....Don’t forget to subtract .01 if you use ZAINO !!!

Does anyone know how much of an effect a factory spoiler, body kit, or lowering has on the CD?

 

I think a factory spoiler and body kit would do little, but lowering would probably do the most.

 

The new Infinity gets -0.01 in CD reduction from the spoiler; so it's hard to say what the spoiler will do (plus or minus). I know that my car, without the spoiler, loves to "collect" black "soot" on the rear and back of the car (right where I would expect the negative pressure and turbulent area to be).

Dropping the car would definitely kill some lift and cut the drag...

The frontal area is also important too... A low CD with large frontal area is just as bad...
