1/2 * VFA * CoD * rho * V^2
rho varies depending on temp, elevation, etc but I used 0.00235 slugs/ft^3

I used VFA of 23.68 ft^2 for the WRX (found from google) and approximated the BRZ as 20.5 ft^2. I think the VFA I initially used for the BRZ was a bit too low, so I changed it and added more notes to the plot.
I used this WRX dyno:

I know nothing about rolling resistance, but I based my numbers on the formulas I found at
