I have this book that says...
This doesn't give you "Frontal Area" so what I did was just use the 4th gen since it's gotta be the closest. It shouldn't make much difference since the frontal area is calculated using 2 dimensional measurements, and that program doesn't compensate for the smoother slope of the 4th gen's front angle. Know what I mean?
It's not that far advanced.

I take that back..... 
It does ask for "drag coefficient" which on a 4th gen is .34
I don't know what it is on a 3rd gen.
Sorry

It is about the same. In fact, the 3rd gen Firebird has the lowest drag coefficient ever, somewhere around .29.
