Does anyone know where I can find this information (for '72 914/4) ? . . .
  • drag coefficient
  • vehicle height, width
  • gear ratios

Thanks,
--Dave

Lamps closed , windows closed ,roof on Cd= .363
lamps open, windows closed, roof on Cd= .380
lamps closed, windows open, roof on Cd= .381
lamps closed, windows closed, roof off Cd= .389
lamps closed, windows open, roof off Cd= .447
lamps open, windows open, foor off Cd= .464

Yep, I've read that site and all of its attachments is great detail. There are many figures provided with a lot of relative differences between various configurations of a 914. However, while the formulas included reference frontal area, there are no values for area provided.

So I'm still looking... does anyone know the CdA or the frontal area of a 914?

Thanks, Eric
