The 1969 Dodge daytona was the first designed with aerodynamic as a top priority. It was the first NASCAR to top 200mph in qualifying. It was so unstoppable on high speed ovals that it got handicapped having to run a 5l vs 7l V8, so Ford and chevy could compete. A test driver was quoted that anyone could pick one up and drive 180mph with one hand. Its .28 drag coef. is still very good by today's standards. It would be bet until the 2001 LS430 Lexus, with current corvettes and 997 porsches at .28/.29.

For the most part muscle cars were not very aerodynamic. Muscle cars was all about 0-60 and 1/4 mile speed, not top speed.
