Cod al generations wind tunnel tests

OK guys, some may seem stupid and boring to some of you, but I thought this may be interesting for some. It came up my 0-175-0 topic. That topic got old. This is just a matter of fact answer.
COD is very important at any speed, but especially at high speeds

thats odd that the c6 has more drag. it must be the opening in the front that causes it. i never liked the look of the front opening on the c6 either. you would think they would have tried to make the c6 more aerodynamic. its like they went backwards in technology. However just because it has more drag doesnt mean it has less stability at high speeds. im just not sure what the deal is here.

They are different concepts but COD certainly has a bearing on Aeordynamics. A car can have great COD is a winf tunnel and bad aerodynamics on the road. COD is generally measured with the car not moving.

calculation to arrive at an objects
AERODYMANICS
Y = exp(X) = d[exp(X)]/dX = dY/dX
Y = X!
Y = 4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24
c + d = 90 degrees = pi/2
The same Rudimentary
Equation for COD
Re = v L / (μ / )
Cd = D / (A * .5 * r * V^2)
Cd = D / (A * .5 * r * V^2)
Cd = D / (q * A)
I hope this helps
