Scissors, if it wasn't you posting these I never would have believed it. This is why I love cars so much. I still learn something everyday. A '97 LS400 has a better coefficient of drag than a C5 or a C6. With one, maybe two exceptions, those are very un-exciting cars that successfully cheat the wind.

Cool. Then maybe you can tell us why belly pans are specifically mentioned in All Corvettes are Red? Some physics would be great too instead of gloating. Hint: A lot of the exotics use them.

Tracked down some other cd's for comparison:

Porsche Coupe .31 Cab ???
Ferrari 360 Coupe .335 Spider .36

Looks like Aero Biscuit knows something after all.

Anybody got the cd of the various Viper models?
