I was exploring links off from Gary's Miata page and found what seems
to be a neat page (http://devserve.cebaf.gov/~bowling/dyno.html) which
allows estimating HP from timed runs.  It needs some input info:

Transmission Ratio:  
Differential Ratio:  
Vehicle Weight in Pounds:  
Coefficient of Drag:  
Frontal Area (Square Feet):  
Tire Inflation Pressure (psi):  
Tire Diameter (Inches):  
Engine Cubic Inch Displacement (CID):  
Engine Stroke in Inches:  

Of these, I have no idea what is the Cd and frontal area.  Anybody
have these figures handy?
