A number of automobiles, some even more aptly described as "carts with engines on board" built in the previous century, as far back as the 1920s, had drag coefficients far superior to the 5th gen Camaro. While not flattering to know that our Camaro's drag coefficient is also eclipsed by some models of the Dodge Durango, the AMC Pacer, the Ford Falcon, and the Nissan Leaf, at least we beat the Ferrari F50, Lamborghini Countach, the Dodge Viper, and the Jaguar XJS. However, my point is that even in the early part of the 20th century, automotive engineers understood the importance of drag, and were able to design some rebarkably slippery shapes... even WAY back in the day!
