Anyone know the drag coefficiency?

[Discopotatoes]

As per the title, I'm after as much data as possible ie drag coefficiency and frontal area

[s p a c e m a n]

Google say .4 for a 2008 one, so thats reliable eta. linky

I found a couple of forums where people were saying it was .32, but Google says Tuscans are .32

I've found the same myself, I was wondering if someone had actually worked it out

[s p a c e m a n]

I'm surprised no one's figured it out in the past 15 odd years, from an old PH topic a Griff is 0.344, it's all way too complicated for me to figure out.

Back in a jiffy, just gonna fire the wind tunnel up

No need for a wind tunnel, you can do it with a stopwatch and a flat bit of road apparently.

And a wet finger. ?

I don't know what you would be measuring to need that. Use atleat two just to be certain.

Any more info on this method? And would that include inserting a wet finger too?

[s p a c e m a n]

Maybe I should have bought a griff, at least they all just wear makeup

Anyway, there were a few that I saw whilst googling The eco warriors site with a 9 page thread, and heres the Bluepeter version Measure the drag coefficient of your car. Both have a load of people commenting trying to make it a more accurate experiment.

There was also this to measure the frontal area in GIMP
