Whats the drag co-efficient of a thirdgen camaro

Just wondering what the drag co-efficient for a thirdgen camaro is. I've heard 2 figures which are completley different from each other so does anyone actually know?

Thanks for the help

Robert

If I remember my figrues right for a firebird T/A in 82, it was about 33, if they were to have lowered the car 1 inch it would have been down to 30. The lowest Drag of ANY american car up to 1982.

As for Camaros, I have never seen any info on it.

According to the book, "CAMARO, The Third Generation," by Michael Lamm, the drag coefficient of an IROC is .347 and a Z28 is .339.
