These numbers are embarrassing by today's standards.

Perhaps, though, the greatest example of “form follows function” was that of General Motor’s boastful claim that the C4 Corvette was (at least partially) shaped and designed inside of a wind tunnel. Due to extensive wind-tunnel testing, the new Corvette achieved a much lower drag coefficient than its predecessors. With a drag coefficient number (Cd) number of just 0.34, the C4 Corvette showed a 23.7 percent reduction in drag when compared to the 1982 Corvette (whose Cd number was 0.44). In the end, the new Corvette’s aerodynamic appearance was genuine.
