Drag coefficient Cd is given as 0.29 in the official GM brochure spec section.

Frontal area is not reported, but you can figure it out with a good frontal picture and some graphics software with scaling and area calculation like Autocad, or just draw a grid on top of the car and count the squares.

The C5's frontal aero is 20.7 sq ft and the C6 is 21.0 sq ft.
Since the C7 is slightly lower than the C6 but several inches wider, I would guess the frontal area is slightly more than 21.0 sq ft.
