According to SportAuto (German magazine) for the Turbo it is: A = 1,61 m^2 cw = 0,38 According to Opel/Vauxhall datasheets for the Turbo it is: A = 1.6 m^2 cw = 0.41 I think both drag coefficients stated are with the softtop on, so the drag coefficient might be slightly lower with the hardtop and probably somewhat higher when topless :unsure:
