some road test data

I found a CAR and DRIVER road test of the '91 SC.
They gave the car Cd 0.32,@ 20.1 sq ft frontal area,for CdA=6.432 sq ft.
Road horsepower from coast-down testing at Chrysler's Proving Ground indicated:
*4 hp @ 30 mph
*11 hp @ 50 mph
*24 hp @ 70 mph
The SC and Subaru SVX were two of the lowest drag cars tested by C and D,only bested by a 1966 Lotus Elan,which absorbs 21 hp @ 70 mph.
