Also, "comparing" Cd values is also a moot point as it does not allow a comparison of aero drag between cars. To actually have a comparison you need to multiply the Cd times the frontal area for each car to arrive at (Cd x A). Now you can actually compare aerodynamic drag between different cars.

Those points are well put, Chuck. I will remove them

Good tip, I need to check bbcode out. Maybe I can make it easier to modify and add more features.
I have tried putting in a table and followed the example, but it does not work. Any advice?
