I didn't realize the redline was so much higher on the 20V'ers, and I
thought the 80/90 was no great improvement on aerodynamics, but that was
strictly a "looks like" opinion on my part. Does anyone know the actual
Cd for the 80/90, easily found out but I'm sure many know.
TIA! Allan(just curious again)
