Aerodynamic numbers...
I was wondering if anyone had the numbers on the aerodynamics of the third generation cars (especially Firebirds
)? I thought it would be interesting for comparison reasons...
I do know that the '82 Maro had a drag coefficient of 0.368, were the 'Birds any different? Did those #'s change at all later in the generation? Any help would be appreciated!

I'd imagine that the numbers for the Firebird would get better for the last 2 years, since they did away with the squared off nose those years. But I have no solid proof, other than the fact that the Lingenfelter 88 GTA topped out somewhere around 280-290mph in the top speed run at Bonneville, while the twin turbo 92 T/A ran an unofficial 315mph run, with it officially being clocked at 308.
