Default SS aerodynamics...?

What is the aerodynamic or drag rating on the Camaro SS or Z28? Is it greater than the TA?

I believe the T/A was slightly better than the Camaro
for aerodynamics, convertibles are worse than hardtops.
0.3 is not bad. A pub like Road & Track would have all
kinds of Cd data racked up, if you want to put it in
context.

While I don't recall the exact numbers, the 98+ Z28 (not SS) has the lowest cd of the 4th gens. The base 93-97 Firebird is almost as low but has a larger flat plate area (due to wider fenders) which makes makes it considerably more wind resistant than the Z28.
