Drag Coefficent of 4th gens..

[edd863]

I was just wondering if anyone here knew what the drag coefficient on the 4th generation trans am is. I know the 80's trans am got as low as .29, and the 4th gens look more aerodynamic, but i cant seem to find any information on it.

'97 huh, is it black?

[FormulaLT1]

I actually didn't get to do the gears if that is what your talking about but the person was 97camarors and because of the rain we decided to put it off.

[edd863]

Nah, its white, i used to hate the color white but I think it looks great on the T/A. And yeah, i cancelled by trip to englishtown. It was pouring over here.

how do you calculate drag coefficient?

The car is put through a wind tunnel and they measure the force on the car.
