Does anyone have information or a weblink about the aerodynamic drag coefficient of the S2000????

I have tried to search s2ki.com but the search engine has been down for several days.

 

0.38 with roof-up
0.46 with roof-down

ps. Figures from 'Sport-Auto' magazine.

 

.29 without windshield.

ps. dumbass guess.

 

any drag coefficient number from other cars for the sake of comparison?

 

...if you have a small head...

 

damn...why so high for sports car standards??

shit, even the Insight has a cd of .29

 

I posted my question to this thread because I just purchased a 2002 Chrysler 300M Special which has an advertised drag coefficient of 0.313 and I was curious about the comparison to my 2001 S2000.

Of course, along with the Cd (drag value), we must consider projected area since the total drag force on the vehicle is proportional to Cd.A.V^2.

By the way, the 300M is a nice road car, especially on twisty roads, and is more comfortable than the S2000 for older folks on longer trips.

 

Ummmm are you sure these values are correct??

0.38 with roof-up
0.46 with roof-down

they seem awfully high??

too high???

 

Is the S2K's max speed drag limited?

-B

 

ya, but it looks like a wind-eroded turd (but in the BEST way possible!!)

I wouldn't expect we'd be anywhere near the Insight's drag numbers...
