Most modern cars are more aerodynamic than older cars, right?

According to the data presented by Premier Aerodynamics, the Porsche 924 has a drag coefficient on par with much more modern cars like an Aston Martin DB11, an R35 Nissan GT-R and even a 992 Porsche 911.

Another reason why these cars rule.

Aerodynamics is a bit over my head, but I still find the science fascinating.

It can also make for some wild-looking vehicles–DTM and Formula 1 cars come to mind.

Didn't watch the Camero video yet but the 3rd gen Firebird had even better areo than the IROC

From memory the 924S got a detuned motor because it would have had a higher top speed than a 944.
