Default Aerodynamic CD numbers for F-bodys

Ive been searching and searching and cant find any numbers of the drag coefficient of F-bodys anyone know of anything. The lower the # the more aero the car is. Im very curious on how the firebird body compared to the camaro ive always figured the firebird had a more aero body.

only thing i found on wikipedia is

1995 Chevy camaro = .338

Example 2006 corvette = .286

Ive always remebered that the firebird actually had more drag because of all the cosmetic BS they have.

I don't know about the 4th gens, but IIRC the Firebird was the more aerodynamic one in the 3rd gens. In fact I have an old motor trend from when the 3rd gen was first released, they said at that time that the Firebird was the most aerodynamic car in America.
