CD is only half of the drag equation. Total drag is CD*Frontal Area. While the GTR has a low CD, it has a very high Frontal Area.As JD mentioned, CD can be reduced by accepting lift in a car. The NSXs aerodynamics was a compromise of drag, cross wind stability, and minimal lift. With almost zero lift and, a good CD, and small frontal area, its a pretty good design. You can't be narrowly focused solely on CD.
