Default Drag coefficient

Not that this is new info, but is anyone else surprised that the drag coefficient on the Z is .30 (.29 on track) and .26 on the G35?

Why is the G35 so much better in this area?

Generally speaking wouldn't you expect the true sports car to be better in this area.

I wasn't aware the cd on the G35 was that low, but drag doesn't really come into play unless you do most of your driving over 100mph. The 95-99 M3's had a much higher cd than the rest of the 3 series due to front and rear spoilers and wider tires. It's really no big deal.
