coefficient of drag?

[Anile8er]

i was just reading up random car stuff and i noticed that the c6 has a coefficient of drag of .28 (older one .29) and that the enzo was .33.... lookd up alot other cars 2 and found them to be in the .30s ... just thought it kinda cool 8)

if you guys find lower (production cars) post

[Anile8er]

not production but has a COD of .19 a world record

according to infiniti's website the G35 sedan with the "aero" package has a COD of .26 which sounds pretty low to me, the coupe has .28 with the "aero" package. ill post any more if i find them.

the mercedes 300SL had a coeff of .25 according to this website here.

remember guys that lower Cd is also usually an indication of less downforce too. elements that create downforce usually add to Cd, so its not necessarily a good thing

yep, hence why those hybrid cars like the insight have lower Cd than the likes of some supercars.

Exactly what he said. The Enzo has tons of downforce, which is another reason why it can corner like it does, and be so stable at high speed. They could have designed it with a much lower drag coefficient, which would have made it faster, but it would make it slower on a non-NASCAR circuit.
