The cd factor is not so important, but rather the air drag index factor, which is the drag coefficient x Frontal Area of the car (cd x A). The lower the number the more aerodynamic the car is.
Also many nose-heavy cars use lift in the front to become more balanced at high speeds.

If you find the pic of the MK1 MR2, please post it up!
This isn't the one I was thinking of, but it might even be better.
