Its 0.34cd with the top up, NOT 0.38.
An Audi R8 incidentally also has a drag coefficient of 0.34. However, it also produces some downforce.
Sparrow: Where did you get your figures for rear lift from?

Wait, frontal area AND Cf are important for this discussion, not just Cf.

Actually, when I first learned that, the web hadn't yet been invented. (Aero/Astro engineer, 1988, MIT)
BTW, i went to school in boston, do you miss the charles and the city?
