Does anybody know what the drag coefficient of the 2005 Mustang is? I did a search but couldn't find an answer, some references to it but no numbers.

Not sure why you need to know...but it is probably in the range of 0.3 to 0.4 (I am totally guessing, by extrapolating the dc's of other cars that I do know)

The SN95 had a dc of .34~.36 (depending on spoilers and such)

The 300SL had a dc of .25~.29 (it has one of the lowest dc's of any production car ever)

Edit: Found some more--
1989 Mustang GT Convertible: 0.40
1989 Mustang GT: 0.38
2003 Mustang GT: 0.36
2003 Mustang Mach 1: 0.36
1994 Mustang GT: 0.34
1993 Mustang Cobra: 0.34
2003 Mustang V6: 0.33
2005 Chevrolet Corvette C6: 0.28


I'm gonna guess that the dc of the 05 is about .35

Don't really need to know...it's just another tidbit of information to keep me salivating until the new ride gets here! Just curious...
