Also, just as a token of friendship, I thought I'd post this. It's a data chart from the book detailing the CD, FA, Stall Speeds (the aerodynamic break point) and power consumption at speed of about 150 different vehicles. If any of these CD and FA figures look familiar, then they should; I pulled more than half of them from Ecomodder!
(Note: Sorry if the spacing's messed up...the margins on this page aren't the same as those I'm using in Word.)
