Interesting 2005 legacy claim....
 
according to this website http://www.import-heaven.net/specs_s...egacy_gt.shtml

the 2005 legacy: has a .28 drag coefficient. .01 better than the svx. I just found that interesting and though i would share.

i've heard the SVX had a .28 also... also heard the .29 number... but with todays airflow testing... they're getting good at this kinda stuff

lower is not always better
 
A faster car needs a higher drag coefficient so it can stick to the road. That's why F1 cars are like double that of a regular car.

No you mean downforce drag cf is how eisily you can move through the air

The USDM SVX has a Cd of 0.290, while the Euro/JDM/Aussie version has a Cd of 0.285...

The difference is due to the undertray being extended in the non-USDM cars.

you could always put on a full pan tray under the car. i works for nascar/lemans. about the downforce at 200mph a f1 can drive inverted and still outhandel any other car on the road.

I still want to see that done!

Matthewmongan 12-11-2004 04:18 PM

yeah so would i but can you find a driver who would donate his body for that test.

Earthworm 12-11-2004 04:49 PM
