[QUOTE="Starfox07, post: 7482926, member: 19356"] After calculating rolling resistance (effective at speeds below roughly 45mph) we took the car up to 80mph on the straightest, flattest road we could find. Put the car in neutral then wait for the car to coast (due to aerodynamic drag over 50mph) down to 35mph. Ran it up and down the road to counteract differences in elevation. Repeated the test with all of the panels/tape taken off. Use current temperature and barometric pressure to calculate air density, then with rolling resistance, plug into formula to arrive at total aerodynamic drag. Divide that by the total frontal area of the car to arrive at the coefficient of drag. :beer: [/QUOTE]
