Old cars versus new camaro Aero?

Curious how much you think moving a drive train from a 55-56 chevy to a late Camaro is worth in ET? Same class wt trans, gears etc. My guess would be a solid tenth and 1-2 MPH.

Using Larry Meaux's (Maxracesoftware) ET Analysis program and changing only the Frontal Area (Fa) and Drag Coefficient (Cd):

OK how did you get the input value for Frontal area of these two? From a known chart?
Seems worse than I figured.
Thank you for the info.
