Yep. I seem to recall there being a Cd*A thing, maybe that's just Cd*A, which gives an idea of absolutely how much drag the car is giving rather than how slippery the overall shape is. For example, my car would exhibit less drag than Phil Knox's Tacoma, even though his Cd is lower.

It's the coefficient of drag multiplied by the frontal area of the vehicle.

Good luck. Worst comes to worst ram a screwdriver through it and use it as a handle.

(let me guess you didnt put the filter on there?)
