A bit confused because the frontal area is what is used to calculate the Cd.
There are a lot of other physical variables that can have an effect such as body rake, wheel base and CG, including sealing the belly/undercarriage of the car.
Many NASCAR, F1 and drag racing teams have been using my employer's wind tunnels for years and probably tested every contraption or device they could imagine.
