I think he's referring to Chevrolet's Citation-IV concept which was out at the same time as the Ford Probe-IV.But I think he's giving the Chevy the Ford Cd.
The Chevy was 0.15or .16 and Ford 0.14.Then Ford went on to do the Probe-V which came in at Cd 0.137.
I think the Chevy is in my photo archive on front page of CAR and DRIVER,who road tested both cars.I intended to do a "case-study" on both cars,haven't got around to it.
Where do the days go?
