Drag Coefficient

[BlueCruiser]

does anyone know the official figure of the drag coefficient of 480? i imagine it should be rather low. And how big the difference does it make between pop-ups being up/down? I do like my pop-up in down position (for as long as the day permits!). I always think the sleeky front looks cool and special too in somebody else's mirror

0.32 IIRC

I fully agree with that. I also do drive like that
I think the 480 with pop-up in up position looks very soft and lethargic

Funny, I couldn't disagree more! For me the nose of the 480 really comes alive when the lights are up.

I must be the only driver who hopes for rain or failing light so I can legitimately put my headlights on while there is still daylight enough to see how cool they look. But then I always liked the frogeye Sprite too.
For me there is no finer sight than a row of polished 480s with their headlights up.

Yep best thing ever is a summer evening at getting dusk, when you can put the lights up and driving along under trees etc, you can see the reflections of the tress and the white lines of the road on them
