When the 1989 Carrera 4 made it's debut,it came in @ Cd 0.32.CAR and DRIVER mentioned that,compared to the generic Cd 0.39 911 Carrera,all the drag reduction came with these subtle refinements.Porsche probably shared the info.
We don't have a drag breakdown on the Crossfire so it's hard to predict what any specific mod will do.
The AUDI TT has a 'fast' roof kinda like the Crossfire,and it's spoiler help it reach Cd 0.29.

Some grille work,airtight ducting,underbody cleanup,and better spoiler might do the trick.
The cooling system out to at least have as good a duct as NASCAR
