Lowest Cd without boat-tail?

Hey y'all, it's about time that I dig this thread up!

I have been thinking quite a bit about the ZX2's aero lately. While the boat-tail is the big kahuna, I am curious to how low the Cd can go without having one.

The Ford Probe 4 is a source of inspiration for one mod.



This says a 5% reduction in drag, which would mean my car going from 0.269 to 0.256.

I wonder if the Cd can get close to 0.20 with no boat-tail and further optimization of the aero mods I already have plus some more...
