Just out of curiosity, has anybody ever seen coefficient of drag numbers for the 102DL3?

I saw it on the Internet. It MUST be true...

Be careful that you get the right vintage numbers.

The newer D with the rounded forehead does better than the ones with the upper windshield.

Happy coaching!

No, my son and I were just playing around with Cd numbers for different things, and some of them are really surprising. (for instance the '69 Superbird had a Cd of about 0.27 which is pretty phenomenal, where a Jeep was about 0.58, and there was a car built in the '30s that was about 0.14!) So I was curious. Closest reference I could find was one where they were fitting some sort of devices to one of the newer MCIs and getting down around 0.55 with it.
