Does anyone know the approx coefficient of drag and frontal area for a FV? A ballpark number would be great.

Kevin, it's an allusion that I portray to throw off my competitors. Hasn't been working well enough, yet! John

John,
Thank for the response.

Was the frontal area ( and therefore the CD) derived from the GCR minimum area ...or your car?

Lawrence, No, not my car. It was from an article for an AHS Challenger (British?) Formula Vee. They should be good ballpark figures.
