My results may only be germane with respect to the Civic coupe architecture.Since Exec also has a Civic I thought the data might dovetail.I pulled both my mirrors at Bonneville.No difference.SCTA times the official FIA world record LSR cars.There exists no more accurate test data.
Some production car mirrors have been reported at 'net-zero' drag.
