cd and frontal area
Does anyone have the CD and frontal area of a stock 3rd generation? I know this is specific to the FD but there is much more chance of someone know on this forum.

I agree with the .29 and .31 figures....
According to "Race Car Aerodynamics", the frontal area is cited as 1.69 AND 1.79 square meters. I am not sure which figure is more accurate.

It is strange that the r1 is not quite as slippery as the base. I found a website with the data I was looking for. It calculates hp loss at speed and has data for almost all cars.

I was considering that to reduce weight...and turbulence over hood and windshield. May improve a little but at reduced safety factory in case spill on track from car in front of you...
And you may get contested at SCCA auto-x? No?
