A Cd of 0.38 for production a car is poor. My Yaris is at 0.29 in stock configuration and as modified it may be as low as 0.26 the same as a Prius. The honda insight is at 0.25. For your home work, answer this; if it takes 600 hp to push the car like a mustang with a Cd of 0.38 to 200mph how much HP would it take to push a car like the honda insight with Cd of 0.25 to 200mph? you may only use information from this website.
