Re: 7.5 lb class for GT
Lynn,
Here is the equation for total drag.
Total Drag:
D=CDA p/2 V2
Where
CD= Coefficient of Drag
A= Frontal Area
p= density of ambient air
V2= vehicle speed squared
This is a big difference when you compare a Cobalt or somthing little to the Older Super Stockers with a big wide front and tall roof line.
I believe your calculations used cars with similar frontal areas.
