Man I just read the article on the Forester again that is real impressive. I drove the auto at the dealer and I was impressed then but it just keeps getting better. I think I need a new daily driver.

i wouldnt be surprised if a cult of tuners came about and modded the forester to a 10 second car. i would! shouldnt be too difficult.
has anyone tested the H6 3.0 Outback? It should run low 13s to high 12s with a turbo.

the xt coupe has a cd of .28?
i assume that that number is w/ the headlights off? how much does it go up w/ the hl's up?

thats .29 with hl closed.
open it probably is .30 .31. cant be much. kinda the same as putting a window down. makes you wonder. does the drag coef. change with the height of the vehicle? maybe with hl closed and hydros dropped at high speed it gets .28. someone want to find out?

Part of the fomula for CD is the total frontal area, as in the width X the height of the car, so lowering doesn't really help the CD(as the space under the car isn't in the fomula), but will help to provide downforce at speed.
The way I understand it, anyway

lower car = lower frontal area (lil' bit)
Lower car has less tire exposed to the wind.
Not much, but it DOES change the frontal area. Figure an 8 inch wide tire, drop the car an inch = 16 square inches less frontal area on the car dropped 1 inch vs. stock. We're talkin' about holding a 3x5 card out the window here.... *shrugs* |
