Im just wondering what the drag Coefficient is for our cars. I understand that the earlier models probably have a slightly different coefficient than the later models since the bumpers and Spoilers are different. mines a 98 GT

  where F=drag force (air resistance), 'rho' (the p-looking symbol) is the air density, v=velocity, A=cross-sectional area, and Cd=Drag Coefficient. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

just for interests sake the coef of the gtfour is .34 i think, But this is for wrc/group A versions, the wing makes that .02 of a diff, it does however provide 50kg of downforce at 100km/h.
