Drag Coefficient of a 2 door...

Does anyone (Probably Cam or Ray or maybe BigG) have the drag coefficient of a minor?

Just because I do rather need it ;)

A mate many years ago said that a minor is stable up to at least 130 - he was a physics teacher and had apparantly done some calculations.
I can personally vouch for this as being true - honest officer.

I THINK from memory it was 0.34 but I'll check...

Checked. It is 0.342, but that's Vizard's vehicle index number which relates to drag coefficient but I'm not sure it's the same.

It DOES however list other cars (Metro, Midget, A35, Mini, etc), so if you can find the drag coefficient for them you can scale the Minor one to suit fom Vizard's numbers.

Have a read of his book (page 33 in the 2nd edition).

Ah! Champion! Thanks Cam!

I shall need that next week when I'm doing my calculations ;)
