Looks do play a part in performance, it is called wind drag....not that I know if the contour has a better drag coeffiencent or not. Does anyone know what it is and how it rates to other cars?

0.33 CoD, or so, IIRC for the SVT.. though that could be off by .2 or so, so don't quote me.

I'll quote you  though, I seem to remember the SVT Cd being 0.31 and slightly lower for the std contour body shape.

slightly lower as in MORE drag, right? I wouldn't think that the standard contour would have LESS drag (better results), even though they don't have the kit sticking down. IIRC, our car's lower dam, etc, are actually one of the few that are somewhat FUNCTIONAL...

No, a lower CD would result in a lower drag. Not sure what the CD is for us non SVTs.

Tony,
I think we are both saying the same thing.
I understood that a lower CD would be better, and I was more or less rephrasing Rara's statement to clarify that he said exactly what he did. You and I are saying the same thing in different ways, I believe.
Don't you ever go to sleep, or away from CEG? I thought I was the only one to stay on here for 8 hours a day, plus.
