Aero
He (Ron / 95 Cobra Mustang) has a similar drive ration and drag coefficient as a C5 vette and many people report 30+ mpg with them.

If you think a 0.29 vs. 0.37 is similar I'm not sure what to say. The Vette is objectively superior in every category. This is not an argument. It's a measurement.
Also, I don't put much weight in self reports.

Sure when you use the wrong numbers its not close. But when you compared the .29(.31 FRC) To the actual .32 It's pretty close.

Source for .32?
Here's mine for .37

Here's another

The
aerodynamic drag of a car is expressed as a coefficient of drag or Cd figure. The Mustang has a
Cd of .36. By way of comparison, a C5 Corvette has a Cd of .29 . . .

I wonder how much dropping the C3 4.5" helped my drag.

But the C3 is pretty bad overall for aero except for some moderate rear down force with the rear spoiler.

Front windshield isnt the best, but I attribute the rest to the gasser like suspension and 27" suv tires. Cut lowering springs plus smaller diameter tires brought the front end A LOT closer to the ground. 24.5" fender height vs 29" stock.

The the gigantic front hood and bulbous flares . . . and pop-up headlights don't help.
