Another reason our trusty AUs are so great, check out the list near the bottom of this wiki page.
More aerodynamic than a lambourghini diablo, ferrari f430, porsche 997 and maclaren f1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_coefficient |

some of you people have WAAAAYYYYYY tooo much time on your hands!!!
  : notice that the trusty AU also has a better drag coeefficiant then the 79 fastback pony!! me thinks Elanoir may have something to say about that!! yes, i know shes a GT500, but its similar shape. but dont laugh yet, the toyota Prius and Honda Civic hybrid both beat the AU  :

it wouldnt surprise me if alot of the more common top end sports (4re's lambos, vipers etc) have been deliberateley designed with increased drag to increase downforce due to the light weight, whereas the good old falcon can do with the aerodynamics because theyre bigger and heavier passenger cars.
it does sound good though being comprable to a bullet

Actually its pretty crap. The old TE Magna had the best coefficient of any Australian car at 0.26. Though ive got to say Ford is usually better than Holden in the drag stakes, im pretty sure even the BF is better than VE in that regard.

Orbit and myself have the drag co-efficiency of a brick wall.
But boy ... do we light up the road at night ... and they rebound wallabies quite well too. :hihi:
