well i seem to remember somewhere on here people were wondering what the Cd was for the G8's. i didnt think these cars were all that aerodynamic. well, i found a list while researching ways to decrease drag for better fuel econ. not sure just how accurate it is overall but i remember my 03z06 listed as .29-.31 and this site says .29 so....

I wonder if our hood vents adds a little drag to the numbers posted for the Commodore

i would doubt the effects were worth mentioning at highways speeds. they dont really stick up enough into the airflow. but at top speeds it might matter alittle.

The data I have says CD = 0.35, frontal area 25.5 sq ft, drag area 8.9 sq ft

FWIW
