Drag co efficiency
#2
If I remember correcty the Coefficient of Drag on 3rd Gen Car was about .30/.32. Never seen a cars weight asked that way, just subtract about 500 lbs from the total weight for a estimate.

Firebirds
.299 - 82-83 T/A's without GFX, and all firebirds without GFX (think KITT)
.320 - 84-90 Trans Am's
.340 - Headlights up....
.330 - 91/92 All models

All Firebirds and Camaro's have a frontal square area of 22ft^2
A smallblock chevy dressed with all accesories is about 550lb/s from what I understand.
The T-5 transmission is about 120lbs I think. However the clutch assembly and hydrolics adds another 20lbs I believe.
Typical 700r4 is about 170lbs with fluids and torque converter. I can lift a loaded 700r4 with mild difficulty to move it around. Don't ask me to carry it to the neighboors though!

I must have over-crated mine. I think my shipping weight was 104 lbs (I sold it to a guy in NY).
That is quite possible, I was sure that 120 was too high, but 85 may be correct, I may be a little off.

Re: Drag co efficiency
Thats why I added a qualifier to my post. I wasn't sure because I really haven't done to much work with a T-5 transmission. Most of my expereince has been with 700r4 trannies.
If you say they are about 100lbs then I agree with your statement.
