Drag Coefficient
Ok, I searched and could not find what I was looking for.. What is the drag coefficient on an EVO IX GSR without the vortex generator or any of the aerodynamic accessories other than the stock spoiler?

I think it's closer to 0.34. I remember reading that the Evo 8 was 0.01 lower than the Evo 7.

Also remember that it will change depending on altitude (density of air)

Are you trying to calulate HP/Torque ?

The drag coefficient will not change with air density, only the drag itself.

Right, I was referring to the end values, because of the difference in air density... At least I think I was, it was around 6 years ago (lol)

LOL ... that's a great question ... probably more pertinent than the original question.

I even asked what he was trying to figure out at the time.
