In this thrilling episode of Cleetus McFarland's adventures, the team embarks on a mission to enhance Leroy's performance at the wind tunnel. With the World Cup finals on the horizon and Dixon flannels back in stock, the stakes are high. Leroy's drag coefficient, previously at 687, demanded a hefty 824 horsepower to maintain 200 mph. However, the unveiling of the new body design reveals a disappointing increase in drag, clocking in at 756. Despite the team's efforts, Leroy's aerodynamics seem to be in dire straits.

Undeterred by this setback, the crew delves into smoke tests and aerodynamic tweaks to salvage Leroy's performance. The new body modifications show promise, channeling airflow towards the turbos with precision. As the smoke clears and the results trickle in, Leroy's aerodynamics undergo a remarkable transformation. The team measures a substantial 342 lbs of downforce at 200 mph, with a notable 82 lbs of lift in the front and a whopping 424 lbs of downforce in the rear.

With bated breath, the team awaits the outcome of the updated drag coefficient tests to gauge the impact of their aerodynamic interventions. Leroy's aerodynamic profile, once a cause for concern, now exudes newfound efficiency and performance potential. The journey to optimize Leroy's drag coefficient is a testament to the team's unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of speed and aerodynamic excellence.
