I was VERY surprised that the 1990 TGP has such a low drag coefficient compared to other sports cars. It has the same as a C5 Vette!

 

TGP-0.299

C5 Vette-0.30

Viper GTS-0.35

DSM Vert-0.32

Skyline GTR-0.35

McLaren GTR-0.50

Jetta-0.36

Porsche 944 Turbo-0.33

80s 300ZX-0.33

80s Corvette-0.36

IROC Camaro-0.37

Turbo Thunderbird-0.36

I just typed drag coefficients into yahoo. Most of them came from a website that cars from the 80s and Supraforums.com. I think you can get a lot of them from car magazine websites [like motortrend].

Yeah, aerodynamics was a big thing when the W-bodies came out.

One of the first advertisements I had ever seen for the then new 1988 Cutlass Supreme coupe was that it had a drag coefficient of 0.297.

Lower numbers are better, means less drag, better aerodynamics.

 

On the other hand, if you like G-bodies or pretty much anything American from the early 80's, I guess you'd prefer higher numbers. :)
