I know that when measuring small changes, like mirror removal, they don't recalculate the frontal area, just take it as an improvement in drag. Maybe that's what's going on here? Probably never know for sure, but anyone have any solid facts?

Recently,with the VW Jetta land speed record at Bonneville,it was mentioned that lowering the car probably did not affect the Cd so much as that it just reduced frontal area.So we have at least one confirmation to this idea.
