Front Area Value For Datalogger?

What is the Front Area Value in square feet for the EVO VIII?

I did some searching and did not seem to find a definative answer.

It also seems that people are using .36 for the Drag Coeficient correct?

Thanks

Do a search for Road Dyno. There is an old thread that has this information in it.
I don't remember the numbers it was a good year or so ago when I last played with my Road Dyno.

Yeah, I recall finding a link in Google about a way to determine frontal area.. CD is different, But I found that posted somewhere on a Japanese website.. I'll see if I can remember where I found the information or if I still have it.

I came across xtnct's username and knew that's where I got it from so I looked up his old posts from 2003. For whatever reason a search did nothing for me.

Sometimes you need to rebuild the search indexes. I am an admin for another vBulletin board. We have had some problems with the indexes in the past.

Beware that it takes A LARGE amount of overhead and time to rebuild the indexes. Our board has about 1.32 million posts. The first time we did it, I thought it would never finish!

I guess I will have to convert from meters to feet! Boo hoo LOL!

For those who need to fronal area in ft. it is 24.95 or 25 ft. That does sound right as a civic is about 23 square feet.
