Re: confused once again

Its the atmospheric drag generated by your car's body shape. An streamlined car body with a low CD would measure in the high 2's. A 120Y coupe would be around 3.2 at a guess, a sedan may be .2 higher again.  ----- Original Message ----- From: David Costello To: Online Datsun Club Sent: Monday, 19 June 2000 12:30 PM Subject: confused once again   this isn't a datsun specific question but can anyone tell me what "Coefficient of Drag" means??   I've used desktop dyno to build a virtual version of my engine I'm about to put into my 120Y and then I've imported that information into a 1/4 mile simulator to see how much difference there is gunna be between the new one and the original I've got all the info in and finished except for coefficient of drag I have no idea what it means   thanks in advance Dave --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
