Until a set of coast down tests are done we are making educated gueses as to the CdA. Put me in the pool for a Cd of 0.38 and area of 13 sq. ft

Trying to pull a CdA number out of thin air on this one is tough. On the one hand, you have a very tiddy rear end that should help quite a bit. On the other hand, you have a front clip that kind of ends abruptly. So, unlike traditionally shaped cars where we have a long history of figures to use to pull CD numbers out of our collective arse, this one is gonna take actual tests.
