Just so you know, the drag coefficient for most FB's is .29 It's probably a bit higher or lower for some models, but that's close enough.

In case anyone is wondering....

Tranny gear ratios:

1st- 3.67
2nd- 2.22
3rd- 1.43
4th- 1.00
5th- .83

At least for an 81 GSL.

The bumper change from 80-81 reduced the drag coefficient... can't remember the numbers
