Mavrick said:They covered this over on the Corral.. try searching over there. If i remember correctly, the lx notch came out on top by like .02 or something. As it turns out, the fox body mustang isn't that much of a "brick" as people think, and now that i know that, every time people say that it kinda pisses me off because they dont know the half of it...

Qwk88LX said:right, hence the "~" (approximately). The hatch is said to have a CD of about .35 while the notch is said to be at about .40. Mavrick said .02 which is waaaaaay off! I don't know if that's even possible.
Mavrick said:I said i thought "the notch came out on top by like .02" - meaning the notch was .02 less of a "brick" then a hatch etc. Get your **** straight.
Qwk88LX said:ok, my mistake..take it easy..jeez. You're still off when you say the notch came out on top...the hatch is more aerodynamic because of the gradual angle the hatch comes down at compared to the notch.

EDIT: Obviously i was wrong thinking that the coupe was more aero than the hatch... but thats cause i own one, i always think they're better
Mavrick said:Ya thats right. Cool. I got more bold so watch it. lol.
