Default Drag2000 File for C3

Anyone have a Drag2000 file that has somewhat accurate chassis values for an 82? Also, if anyone knows these values but does not have a file, please feel free to share. The values are: Wheelbase, Drive Wheels Weight %, Front Area (in square feet), and the Drag Coefficient. Thanks in advance.

Go to http://www.idavette.net/facts.htm and pick your year. The wheelbase is given therre. You can also estimate the area decently from what they give you. The drag coefficient is around 0.38 for a late C3. Weight distribution is very nearly 50%.

For your 82, the wheelbase is 98" and the area is about 20 ft^2.
