Coefficient of drag, as simplified by Eaker, "can be thought of as the proportion of airflow energy not recovered by the car." In other words, the ideal situation would be to have the pressure at the front of the car be equally balanced by pressure at the rear of the car. That's impossible, but the closer you can get, the lower the Cd will be and the faster the car will go. The Cd measurement is independent of size; in other words, a 51/48-scale model of your car has the same Cd as the fullsize car.
