Coefficient of drag?
A Mk III Ford Capri is around 0.374, so since a Mk III Cortina does not appear to be as streamlined as the Capri, I would guess it to be between 0.39 and 0.43 (for the upper limit reference, a Peugeot 504 is around 0.44).
There's a ghetto way of measuring the Cd without a wind tunnel. See link below.
Measure the drag coefficient of your car |
