Cd for E8?

Anyone knows the drag coefficient for the evo8? Seems that is on specification that Mitsubishi did not supply in its brochure...

Looks like you found it yourself

.36 it is. The bottom two are for front and rear downforce or something.

I believe STi was .32 and 350Z .29.

Remember it's not always about lower cd the better. You still need downforce which increase that value or drag.

I'm just going to use those round black sticky things that cover the fourth hole on the passenger side and the bolt holes for the trunk bar. That way I won't be screwed if I want to do something else with the trunk.

Well isn't it lucky that you have a black car If I do this I'll get the paint code for the Apex silver- go get a can of paint made and spray whatever I use to cover the holes. Is removign the wing fairly easy?
