Aero Info

[NorthernBel]

I have searched the forum and the internet in general and can't find much on the aero data for the CT5 Blackwing. One article said that the CF1 package reduces lift by 85% but there was not data as to how much lift the car has in base form. I also haven't seen a drag coefficient number. Can anyone here provide me with that information or point me to where I can find it?

I saw that number a couple of years ago somewhere...I recall being underwhelmed for the 5BW (I think I recall the 4BW generation more DF with its aero.)

I think I’ve heard that the cf1 on the CT4 produces 180 lbs of down force at 180ish mph. I’d guess that number is greater than the CT5, or they would have advertised that number. Whatever the Cd is, it’s worse with CF1.
