Wheel base length for C3's? And drag numbers!
Hey guys...
Fooling around with a drag racing program on smokemup.com and I dont know what the length of the wheel base is on our cars!
I Also dont know what kind of drag our cars have at speed... Cant be to much lower the .40 on the drag co. scale... but alas, I dont remember! :cry

The drag coefficient for the 1980 is .433
For a 1979 with the spoiler package it's .503
These numbers are from "The Corvette Black Book" and can be found in the specs. for the 1980 model.
The 1979 spoiler package decreased the drag by about 15% from the standard body.
This information comes from "The Corvette Black Book" in the specs. for the 1979 model.
