[QUOTE=kach22i;564951]These numbers are much better than I would have imagined.

Must be those smooth belly pans they had.

Any idea what the Porsche 917k was Cd wise?

I'm assuming higher drag, higher down-force from the wedge tail.[/QUO

Hucho reported the 'as-raced' 917 (L) @ Cd 0.33 and the 917 (K) @ Cd 0.36,all quite a bit higher than the 'naked' scale-model.
