Carfolio - Insta specs - ?
Looking around the intranets for the Cd value of my new project car, I stumbled onto this site Carfolio it has detailed specs on many cars, down to front/rear weight ratios and Cd specs.
Might be a handy guide for people to check weight distribution or whatever.

Nice find! Too bad it doesn't have the frontal area specs for my whip.

I can't vouch for all the specs of course, but they seem to be factory specs, not what people submit.
My 91' Golf has a drag coefficient of .300 for starters, and a frontal area of :
2.03 m² = 21.8507 ft²
OR 21 ft² and 122.506 in²
Can that be right?
21. 8 square feet? Holy crapola.

Dradus -
This is very cool. They don't have my Saturn, but I have a 1997 brochure, so maybe I will add those specs to the site.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I can't find my car.
Bookmarking as an example of how NOT to organize a website :/

Thanks. That's because you've made sites as big that are so much easier to navigate, right? |

Probably the largest website that I've done isn't quite that large. I'm doing other things these days. Is that your site? I can give you some of my ideas if you'd like
