I can't seem to find any of these numbers for either 4th gen f-body...

Does anyone have any of them, maybe a source too?
I can't find them anywhere:confused:

Thanks

0.32 Cd SOURCE (http://www.autobuyguide.com/2000/12-aut/chevrolet/camaro/specifications/index.html)

I believe that number. If you made some gross assumptions, you could probably back-calculate an approxiate frontal area.

The Vette had the least. The recent GMHTP talked about it being extremely low, I do not though have it at work.

Thanks Kerryt1, I had read yesterday that it was .33.
I thought it would be higher but it seems like it's around .32-.33, awesome...

What's a C5's Cd? I'd assume alot better then a F-Body.
