Yes, it is the drag coefficient. Spelling error.

Yes it is possible. Check Nissan GT-R for example. It has a Cd value of 0.26. It is silly to say that BRZ doesn't have good downforce, because it has a low Cd value. Don't forget that we are talking about street legal cars here. F1 cars is another story.
