Looks can be very deceiving some times . .
The average car has a drag coefficient of .30-.35 . . . That basically means how well it cuts through the air. .
The Scion XB has a drag coefficient of .32 . . . A few other cars that have a DC of .32 are mclaren F1, NSX, supra. . .
I'd say its about average haha . .

Re: New Drag Car for Scott Kelley
Car came out great, we are really pleased. It is a little more air to move as we found out this past weekend. Apples to apples it is .08 and 2 mph slower than the Corolla BUT it turned the NHRA crowd on their ear when they saw it.
