The reason that race cars have ridiculous drag coefficients is because on banked turns it buys them enormous turning ability. The downforce buys them Normal force and therefore traction without buying weight and intertia, which would lead them into plowing right off the track.

Its the only way to make it happen. They can always squeeze alittle more HP but its hard to create more traction without creating inertia and losing your maneuverability.

If I am going to drop 80K I'm buying an NSX 97 and supercharging its rear wheels and dropping a standard Civic R chassis supercharged into the front end and getting AWD and a ton of horses.

Without either being charged its dropping 475 little horses between the 3.2 in the trunk and the 1.7 up front for a total VC of 4.9(a liter point one more) but its NA. charged nominally without having to undergo serious engine revamps she could drop 712.5(at 8-9 PSI). Comparably the NSX curb weight is just under 3kips while the GTR is 3.8kips. Engine addition would add 6-7 hundred pounds. They would have the same weight but the NSX P-W would be 374 compared to 252 for the GTR.

Cd is .32 for the NSX
