Still better than .43

There must be some devilishly poor aerodynamic details which we cannot see which account for the 2007 concept Volt's poor numbers.



The camaro has smaller wheels(!), a lower hood, a longer and slightly tapered tail section, all helpful for lowering Cd.
So, 0.43 vs 0.36? I believe it.
