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. |
The Camaro also had a full,aluminum belly pan,mirror delete,wiper delete,MOONs,and was lowered to the rule book minimum.
