he's talking about the area the car takes up if you look at it frontally. it's for calculating drag forces. unfortunately, I don't know the answer though

frontal area is the entire area of the front of the car, which is the length x width of the front. For a 3rd gen its 1.69 m^2 so it should be around that. I havent been able to find the specs online and i was hoping someone knew it

I think the cd for the s4 is .31, and .29 for the s5.
The drag for an FC is very good. The car kinda looks like a door stop from the side.

Take a picture and try to measure the picture...Of course u will need to reference something in with the pic to get accurate measurements...Just a guess don't know if it will work!

hey, good idea nashman! if you put a meterstick in the picture, you can use the size ratio of that in the photo to measure the dimensions!
