PUKE CONTROLLED TESTING DAY

[Murdoch]

Okay all I can do is relate this to Opels (sorry)
On the 2 door coupe Opel Calibra there is the 16v model and the 8v model....
The 8v model had (in 1989) a class leading CD of 0.29, the 16v model with the same body and trim had a CD of 0.31, the same as the 4 door Vectra.

Whats the difference it says?

The 16v model had a larger grill to supply a larger radiator, were talking an opening in the nose that went from the size of a mailbox slot to the size of a 2 slice toaster, this was enough to knock the CD for a six (still respectable but by no means spectacular, kinda like a Ford Mondeo).
So I can understand the viewpoint that removing a headlight will quite drastically affect the CD.... BUUUUT!

The 205 has the CD of a blunt brick.... a blunt one! and since a brick has a CD of 1.17, I think we can close the case on headlight mods affecting performance and well just have to take Heath's word that the mod made his car respond better

realistically, the aerodynamics affect on the pug would be eff-all at anything under a squillion miles per hour, these cars arent F1, and arent as affected by this as people might think. Im with heath on the cooling/induction benefits.
