I've done tons of searching, but I haven't been able to find if anyone knows the coefficient of lift for a 914? I've found lots of Cd and Ca numbers, but I need the Cl for some data work.
Thanks! |

Could you take the 124.76 N he calculated for the lift values and determine Cl if you knew the frontal area of the car? I'm sure he has that stuff, judging by the other interpretations they calculated.
