Did you know this???
The drag coeffecent of our cars is what 0.29cd??? Something like that right?? Well check this out!!!! The Chrysler "four twelve" concept has a worse drag coeffecent than our cars!!!! Hehehe, 12 years and the rest of the world can only hope to make cars as good as the SVX
Look here for that Chrysler Concept.... http://www.supercars.net/cars/2004@$Chrysler@$ME%20Four-Twelve%20Conceptg.html PS --- > Ya have to copy the link to the address bar

Actually there are quite a few cars with similar or better drag coefficients available today. Even the new Legacy sedan has a .28 cD I believe. For its time, though, the SVX's cD was as good as it got.

The Subaru XT series that started in 1986 also had a .29 cD.

"the ME Four-Twelve goes from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds, 0-100 mph in 6.2 seconds and it will blister through the quarter mile in 10.6 seconds at 142.0 mph."
ummm i'll take that one i highly doubt the legacy has anywhere close to a .29, but plus, our cars have a .28 says... can't find the website, but anyway, yeah the XT has a .29, and most cars today are around a .36... hell the porsche 944turbo was a .36 i believe...

this topic was discussed before. the svx is .28 without the spolier and .29 with. the xt was .29 standing still and .01 at 135.

Remedial Math?
Gotta wonder about those specs - 650.84 hp/weight? At 2879# that would yield 1,872,501.6 HP.
Obviously if you make Neons you can't trust yourself to make your own high end engines. On second thought, does Chrysler make/design any of their own engines? (Sorry Rob, I couldn't resist. ;-)

WOW!! There are some cars there that I would have thought to have a VERY low Cd......
I can't believe that our SVX's are more aerodynamicly advanced than most of those cars on that list!!! Hehehe....
