I've been admiring your cars design ever since it came out.
I was shocked to see that the .Cd was so high on the car. ( .32 ! )
It seemed to have such a sleek design.
Not only does the car have a super low front end that is shaped by the wind, but it also has a backlight that is curved not only in the side, but also the plan view. The sides of the car end in a sleek boattailed design, the windshield is also not only angled back, but also curved as well in the plan view.
What a beautiful design. I see so much potential for it, and wonder what the .Cd would be if you cleaned it up a bit.
One thing that I noticed right away was the area below the spoiler. It is rounded and air would tend to leave a large wake here ( more drag )
Hot Rod magazine even suggested plugging the gap with a 'towel' ( their words ) to see an improvement in drag.
Also look below the bumper - see the parachute effect created by the bumper ?
That's a lot of drag right there.
If I had a new Camaro ( I once had a '69 BTW) I would drop it and put on an airdam.
Such a cool looking car.
