Callaway Aerobody drag coefficient?
I figured I'd post this here as I see a lot of Callaway owners around this forum. Anyway, I was wondering what the drag coefficient is for a stock C4 and for a C4 with the Callaway Aerobody?
Thank you for your time

I believe stock is around 0.32 and the aerobody is about 0.87. :jester
Somebody will know - 89X2 might be able to help!!

0.87? Do you mean 0.27? 0.87 would be like trying to run while holding a 4 foot by 4 foot sheet of wood. Near impossible :lol:

What is the frontal area? I was thinking about that just last night. For comparisons sake you don't know the frontal area stock do you?
Thanks

I'm thinking about an aerobody with 880bhp attached to it :crazy:
I don't actualy have a C4 yet, I'm still researching into what to buy. L98, LT1 or ZR1. My current porject will hopefully be finished next year. Then it's onto something bigger, better, and indeed, faster.

Thank you sir.
I believe the Sledgehammer had the lip that you are referring to.
