> > what is your source? Very interesting the car is that good. > The data and charts came from a series of articles published in Car Styling Magazine - starting with Issue 40 in October 1982. It is a great 4 part series that covers cars, race cars, trucks and motorcycles. It was written for car stylists and design people, not hard core engineers. It gives good rules of thumb and directional guidelines concerning aerodynamics around cars. For those not familiar with Car Styling, it is a high-end, glossy magazine/softcover book that highlights design development of recent production and concept cars as well as covering design competitions and interesting non-automotive designs. Fortunately, I have access to it through the Ford Motor Company library because it is like $20 an issue. I also have a BS in Aeronautical Engineering , so some of the info is from my own experience.
