A stock C6 coupe has a wind-tunnel measured CdA of about 8 square feet..

Not a bad start.

Skinnier LRR tires, wheel skirts. Some sort of "plug" for the tail. Other than the engine swap, the whole project is an adventure in fiberglass bodywork.

Gotta find a beater or salvage C6 to start such a project. The little guy has to do it. Ain't gonna happen out of the husk of GM. The Corvette will be lucky to survive at all.
