Took a couple of straight Measurements on the Camaro..... How bout 4' tall
and 6' wide.... so we start with 24 square feet... based on it actual
design I think we can eliminate about 2.5 of that for the shape.... BEST
CASE....so what 21.5 square feet of Frontal area.... and about a 1.0 for
Flat Plate drag.... 

Okay maybe .34  -  .37 CD.... who knows....

gross weight around 3000lbs... yep she is a beast.... but I still wouldn't
want a ride on the Hood...
