I would love to know the .cd for a stock Mustang and this salt flats racer too!

Looking more closely at the pictures of the new Mustang I saw what looks like flexible rubber side skirts that extend between the front and rear wheels and from the rocker panels to the ground. Those side skirts together with the low front air dam and overall car rake probably create a suction effect reducing lift without too much effect (?) on drag.

It's interesting to look at the '68 Mach One to the '08 Mustang and compare the differences.
