If you think that any wind tunnel is working to 6 decimal places, you know very little about wind tunnels (or maybe decimal places?).
It's not obvious to me at all. I have no way to vet what Motor Trend publishes, one way or another.
I've said nothing about wind tunnel working numbers.
I simply stated that, in order to satisfy 6.3% higher drag than the value which was provided, required 6-decimal place accuracy.
Do you want this thread turned off also? When I tell you what I think about your knowledge of wind tunnels?

PS Thanks for page-17, # 162 permalink.
After 28-days, 17-pages, and 161 permalinks worth of grief, we finally manage to get what ought to have been in the preamble to your first permalink, on March 22.
The talking comes first, then the thinking.
