I've done some looking around and can't find the answer to this. Does anyone know what the co-efficient of drag is for the new Mustangs? I know that the 2010 V6 has 4% less drag and the 2010 GT has 7% less than their 2009 counterparts. I also know that the 2011 is ever so slightly more slippery than the 2010's. But I don't know what the new numbers are and I can't calculate based on the 2009 figures because I can't find what they are, either.

I've read on other sites how terribly inefficient the Mustang's shape is, but I don't know how people are making this judgment since nobody ever quotes what the number is.

 

Good question. I'd like to know myself.

 

01-04 V6 = 0.33 - MotorTrend (assuming it's the same for the 99-00 V6/GT since those GT's didn't have scoops)
01-04 GT = 0.36 - MotorTrend
03 MACH1 = 0.36 - Ford Media
05 GT500 = 0.38 - AutoZine

I remember the day when Manufacturers Boasted CD Numbers, the Lower The Better. I kinda miss those days. The Aero Wars of the 80's and Early 90's really pushed the designers to come up with something new.
