<VV> RE: Aero Data

[D. Monasterio]

    I remember have seen aerodynamic coeficients in a car´s enciclopaedia, back on the 70s, where Corvairs were just behind the Citroen DS-19. If my memory still works, they were 0.33 for Citroen, 0.35 for earlies and 0.37 for lates. All other mass production cars were behind Corvairs. Don't tell to earlies fans.

<<GM did do wind tunnel testing on the 60 and I have some of it, too little.  
There are several wind tunnels that can be used for automobiles and even some  
that are exclusively used for cars. I friend of mine from college worked in 
the  GM tunnel.
 
I have done "coast down" tests to estimate the drag of the Corvair using a  
G-Tech. Haven't figured out how to measure lift on the road, yet...>>
