Question Does anyone know the Cd on a 1975 Monza fastback ?



This body style is pretty swoopy, but has a terrible undercarriage. With a proper airdam, I can image this car being quite slick.



The overall shape is close to that of the .201 Cd Camaro that Hot Rod tested.
Stock, that car was something like .475 ..or higher. I can't recall the exact number.
A simple plate flat airdam, a blocked off grille, and a simple spoiler were all that was needed to bring the Cd down to .201.
That is truly a 'diamond in the rough' as far as a design goes.

I know there are a few guys that run this car at Bonneville. I was just curious if any of you have considered adding a more modern engine into something like this design if the Cd could be brought down to under point 20.
( A Honda VX engine in a Monza ? Sacrilegious I tell you ...sacrilegious !! )

Not really worth the effort due to weight I suppose. It's also not front wheel drive, so scratch the front wheel drive idea. And the car does not have a modern crush zone / airbag etc.

Just a daydream.
