I have a 86 mustang gt and a 88 lx...and i was wondering what is the drag coeffciency rating on them and all fox stangs..do's anyone know where can i get this information...im pretty sure the 86 might be higher cause of the head light sockets...but i looks like it would be more aero if there was headlight covers on it....
