Coefficent of Drag

Starting to look for the next FE project. Does anyone have a link or easy way to find the CdA of a car or a link that list the top 20 or so?

Yup, there's a lot of discrepancies, different tunnels give different results for the same car, different approximations of reference area, etc... Although they are pretty accurate when comparing cars for better or worse.

I say go with a CRX. Cheap, attractive shell will leave you plenty of money for the ev conversion, :p

you can edit the entries.

06 civic sedans go to two categories.
hybrid: .27
non-hybrid: .31

maybe the coupe has the .29 cd??
