Andrew J Figured in the .Cd of his hatch at .33 On the front page of Ecomodder is the article on the Aerocivic " How to drop your .Cd from .34 to .17 .
Andrew J :
"
I did 2 of 6 runs of coastdown testing in "stock" form to verify that the Excel spreadsheet was giving me decent numbers. By comparing the Cd that the spreadsheet gave me with Honda's Cd of 0.33 for a stock 5th generation Civic hatchback, I can see how far off (if any) the numbers in the spreadsheet are. "
Road & Track gives the figure at .31 for the hatch and a little less ( unspecified ) for the VX.
I 'm just really confused at which is correct.
Since I have a 5th generation hatch, I'd like to believe that the stock .Cd is .31.
That would mean that Andrews' .Cd would actually be even lower than he says ( which would make him happy I would think. )
