Default Cobra drag co-efficient....is it a "barn door"?
Every now and then (ie regularly) I see a comment comparing a Cobra at speed to "pushing a barn door through the air", or "pushing a brick....." etc
Wouldn't almost any Cobra have an impressive enough power to weight ratio that would overcome however much aerodynamic drag a Cobra is lumbered with?
Does anybody know what the drag co-efficient (Cd) of a Cobra is?
Cheers,
Glen
