Drag - oldeguy - 06-14-2007
I've got those plastic mud flaps on the rear wheels, and I'm curious if removing them would reduce the Drag Co-efficient?

Drag as in slowing you down?....or drag as in me and Meford in your back seat?
Please say it ain't so.
Drag, I can confidently say is NOT an issue in these cars :lol:

I was going to say "which one's wearing the dress" but apparently you both are! :lol: :ph34r:
Mudflaps don't cause drag... ex-girlfriends cause drag (and heartburn, nausea). The Focus is a very clean-flowing body shape... there isn't much you could do to it to decrease the cd (Co-Efficient of Drag).

For the correct answer yes it would make a difference but for you to actually feel the difference or 2 c it on a 1/4 mile is probally very slim

no keep the front, without the front its basically a large brick pushing through the air, the front pushes the air away smoothly.
