What is interesting to me,is that with mirror deletes,narrower tires,MOONs, and lowering,all this did not reduce counts enough to get the Cd below 0.28,starting with Cd 0.28.It reduced the frontal area about 5.8%,which is a rulebook maximum reduction for the class they ran in.
With 300 horsepower,she's 3-mph faster than the 1993 Impact/EV-1.

They improved the Cd by less than 0.005? |
