between 0.7 and 1.1

This is because of multiple factors – the first and most obvious being the difference in size. Like I said, the Charger is lighter and smaller than the Challenger, so it has better aerodynamics. In turn, that lowered amount of wind drag lets it move faster and more efficiently down the road as well.

You may not think an entry-level luxury sedan could claim the title of the most aerodynamic car. But according to Mercedes, the new A-Class sedan features the lowest drag of any production vehicle in the world, with a coefficient of 0.22. At this level, it defends the world record held by the Mercedes-Benz CLA.

And that’s without the use of a fixed rear wing. It’s been some time since we’ve had any news to share about the Mercedes-AMG Project One after it debuted at Frankfurt last year.

Spoilers are supposed to change airflow above, around and underneath vehicles to reduce wind resistance (or drag) or use the air to create more downforce and enable more grip at high speeds. As a vehicle travels faster, aerodynamic drag increases, making the engine work harder to maintain speed. …

Other than keeping your nose planted firmly on the ground, downforce does still have a major use. Though it can make your car slower on the straightaways, it can allow your car to corner at higher speeds by increasing the grip of the tires. There’s a big difference, and that’s what downforce can simulate in a car.

Downforce is necessary in maintaining high speeds through the corners and forces the car to the track. Light planes can take off at slower speeds than a ground effects race car can generate on the track. An Indy ground effect race car can reach speeds in excess of 230 mph using downforce.

I read an interview with the fellow who designed the first Porsche with an automatically-deployed rear spoiler. He said that in his opinion, the spoiler should deploy at 70 mph (113 km/h), since in most conditions, it starts to be useful around 80 mph (129km/h).

Downforce. Decreased downforce will reduce stability and give a looser driving style, but increased downforce will improve cornering stability and increase traction.

Nope. Well, in 2015 adding any Aftermarket Spoiler gave you the Option to adjust the Downforce (even Ducktails gave you the Option for some reason hehe). …

Light car, low intertia, high downforce, increased turning force, faster cornering. In a straight line a lower downforce (and less drag) would be preferable. Current rules don’t allow this in a race (but do in qualifying), unless DRS is activated.

Does adding different spoilers and stuff actually changes the way the car moves in need for speed payback? Nope. Purely cosmetic.

Swap engines by pressing triangle on PlayStation®4, Y on Xbox One, or the C key on PC. Scrolling through the available engines, you’ll see that the more expensive they get – they’re typically boasting higher performance from the get-go – the more room for improvement.

More downforce = better cornering/grip sacrifices top speed a bit. Most of my cars are set to high downforce. With the exception of my drift car(s) bc it was hooking a little too much now she gliiides. I use the boss mustang 302 for drifting love the way that v8 sounds especially just sitting idle.
