Re: 03 Cobra...do I even stand a chance?

Removing the rear wing did squat for my 99 (back to back to back to back testing), and I frankly don't believe it to be worth the equivalent of 10-30 HP in the 1/4 mile (ie....gaining 1-3 mph).

Interesting. I will remove mine and test it one of these days. We will see what I gain, if anything.

Camaro Z28 is .34 and a Mustang GT is .36.
Precious few cars are under .30.

A C5 is 0.29 and the C6 is 0.28 -- Snorman is right, it's tough to get numbers under 0.30 and there are very few cars that make it.

Didn't GM build an electric car that was .16?

They have something like that at our local Science Center on display. It's basically a big cigar with wheels. lol

Eh, I have no idea. I meant REAL cars that you and I could go to a dealer and buy.
