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
