Evo VIII frontal area?
Anyone know the dimensions or square footage for the frontal area of an evo viii?

also do you have any idea how much the drag coefficient would drop with a 1" drop on a stock evo?

Frontal Area= 23.38
Coefficient of drag (Stock)= 0.38
This is what I came up with in my own search a while ago.

1) Huge. Needs a chopped top or something.

2) Probably not that much. If you are looking for a slippery car, get a corvette.
