We had all been discussing the CAR and DRIVER tunnel tests at the A2 Tunnel in North Carolina and Tyler was curious about what the numbers correlation between Darko and A2 might be.And since Gary had his 2010,Gen-3 Prius,Tyler said,what about throwing it in the tunnel for a comparison for free!
We juumped at the chance and after reconfiguring the load cell carriers we put Gary's car for a 76-mph run.
The Gen-3 came in at Cd 0.285.We can compare that figure with A2's number.
I love this part - to put the C&D numbers in context (and also highlight the variability between facilities).

Looking forward to the pictures & videos.

Have a great time on the salt!
