Based on experience I believe the .34 is good and applies to both base and Sport versions. I seriously doubt if the Sport has antghing to lower the Cd.
Cd is the drag coefficient compared to a barn door of same area being = 1.0. Kinetic and potential energies have nothing to do with those. And tire rolling resistances aren't involved either.
Cd is meaured in a wind tunnel with load cells measuring the push to the rear for various wind speeds, compared to that of a flat surface of the same cross-sectional area.
And only a few muascle cars got over .4; I measured some of those.
