I have the book...on page 20, 74-75 nothing on the 911.

On page 19 and in appendix 1 there's some info:

911 Carrera - Cd =0,38 - 0.39 frontal area - 1,78 m^2
911 Carrera Cabrio - Cd = 0.40 - 0,41 frontal area - 1,77 m^2

page 74-75 talks about the GM windtunnel.

Appendix 2 has some info on the Porsche windtunnel:

nozzel crosssection - 22.3 m^2
Length of test section - 12 m
Maximum windspeed - 230 km/h
Slotted sidewalls
Contraction ratio - 6.06
Drive power - 2200 kW
