I've come across that figure before and seen it written here as well:

Scroll down and it gives a list of cars.

Hmmm I checked source of this information (you can click this small number next to years of production) and I'm little confused... Look: http://ecomodder.com/wiki/index.php/...t_of_Drag_List

Ford Escort (Euro) 1995 - 2000 0.32

Ford Escort 1997 - 2002 0.36
