Thanks for the list. Couple of comments that came to mind:

Looking at final drive ratios without knowledge of the transmission gearing (and of course engine powerband) imparts no knowledge really.

Also, "comparing" Cd values is also a moot point as it does not allow a comparison of aero drag between cars. To actually have a comparison you need to multiply the Cd times the frontal area for each car to arrive at (Cd x A). Now you can actually compare aerodynamic drag between different cars.

Regards,
Chuck
