Speaking of coefficient of drag calculations.
Our car measured 195 whp on a conservative dyno.
At out last track day the data log shows we accelerated from 95 to 118mph in 5.25 seconds. I suspect our car to be near 2200 lbs with driver. I estimate tire rolling reistance at 0.015.
Does anyone know an online calculator that will take this info and spit out coefficient of drag ?
