Many months back there was some question as to the drag coefficient.
While reading the May issue of Road & Track, I noticed fellow Morgan
owner Dennis Simanaitis and Engineering Editor for R&T had an article
titled "My PC Morgan."
Dennis was writing a review of a piece of software that calculates
various auto performance data. As a test he uses his 1965 Morgan Plus 4
four seater. One of the more interesting items is that with collected
data about the car, the software was able to come up with the
coefficient of drag, .596. This was done top down.
This begs the next question, drag wise, where does a Morgan fall in
relation to barn doors and bricks? Then again, in the world of Morgans,
who really cares as long as its a nice Spring day and there is a nice
bit of road out there.
