Default Aero Coef' LX vs GT
Curiosity compels me to ask; does anyone have numbers for the drag coefficient for the LX and GTs? I wonder if the gt body kit is worth aerodynamic advantage or if it is just for show.

i would assume the lx is more aerodynamic then the GT less mass for air to drag on since the basic constrution between the cars are the same besides the lower half.

but thats just a novice guess

I would assume that at first glance as well, but the redeaming factor I could gather from the lower half would be to have less drag from the under side of the car.
