Aerodynamics, nig nogs.

The only Cd I'm aware of is the CRX's... .32. Everything else sucks, so I'd place it mid-.30's or higher.

Re: Aerodynamics, nig nogs.
Good info Joe, but you know most of the people on here really aren't going to understand or care about aero on their cars unless they do some serious track driving. And for anyone with bodykits...those aren't aero peices

Re: Aerodynamics, nig nogs.
Most people can understand on the redneck common sense level the big stuff that gives the best gain... look at what Mista Bone has done with his car... how much ET did he pick up with a rear bumper cover removal? A full half second? Bone is the epitome of common sense; I worshipped the guy back on the old Hybrid site, learned his lesson, and applied it to everything since.

Re: Aerodynamics, nig nogs.
.3 second, and 3 mpg 
Just a old redneck playing with a Honda.
I was reading a Popular Science or Mechanics at the libary last week, they were talking about the possible 100 mpg cars. VW Lupo 3 cylinder diesel got 80 mpg but was dropped from production.
Byt the best thing I read, "Air flow UNDER the car is more responsible than the airflow AROUND the car for better Cg and gas mileage.

Re: Aerodynamics, nig nogs.
I've been wanting to cut out the sparetire well in my crx to make room to build a real diffuser w/vertical stabilzers. I'd like all of the highspeed stability I can get since square doesn't know which way is forward. Bone do you have any pics of Ryan's del sol?...
