If it's a 24% reduction, that means
this:

.40 Base CD * 24% = .09 CD Reduction = .31CD
IMSA
85.8lbs drag * 24% = 20.592lbs drag = 65.208lbs
IMSA

Ick. As much as I hate to say it, to an extent, that's
pretty pathetic. Compared to a 1986 Dodge Daytona TurboZ
(compare an '85 or '86 TurboZ front clip to a Monza - see
the similarities?) which has a .33CD. *sigh* There's
GOT to be something better out there.. anyone know of
anything? :/
