Hey Everybody,
My name is Mike and doing an aerodynamics research project at the University of California, San Diego on an advisor's 1972 Porsche 914, involving CFD flow analysis, 1/18 scale model testing in the water tunnel with various aero configurations, as well as full-size coastdown drag testing with those same configurations, etc. My question is - are there any published values for the drag coefficient of this car? I've done a forum search and seen some estimates of .45, although the number seems to have been contested by others. Any help on this would be much appreciated! Thanks, -Mike |

These are static tests? Reason I ask is my car will drop in the front about 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" at about 90 to 100 mph. I believe this would change those figures. Others have their cars even lower to start with than mine.
