43269, Drag Coefficient Between 95-96 and 97-99 Posted by tacoman123, Feb-01-03 06:46 AM
I was wondering, what the drag coefficient of the 95-96 bumpers? What about the 97-99?
It says that it is .29 cD in the Specs page, but I was wondering for what year it is..
Just wondering..

the difference is likely so small it wouldn't show up in a drag test. it's more the design of the car's body then just that bottom lip on the bumper. I would think the 97-99 might be a little worse because it's so huge and flat, like an air damn.

Oh ok, just wondering..
But what about the spoiler?
Did they test it with or without a spoiler?
Thanks

I think they said the gs and gst had a drag of .30, and the only real difference externally vs an rs is the wing and side skirts. so .29 is for an rs w/o the wing. regardless, our cars are really slick unless you have a rice wing to slow you down

I know the1Bill has the exact numbers on this, but it is something like 0.28 for the 95-96, 0.29 for the 97-99
That is approxomate, I know Bill has all the details, and maybe even he knows where the source of that info came from, too.
