[QUOTE="KinLM, post: 13228319, member: 221133"] [B][COLOR=#0099CC]Im not sure if you’ve bothered to read any of the rest of this thread, but it has already been explained/debunked. The amount of downforce produced by the heavy road-going Ford GT’s front end and some stupid flaps is not going to do next to anything, especially when compared to a much lighter GT equivalent with a large diffuser, flat floors, large splitter with venturis/expansion that actually leads to somewhere and creates a serious low pressure zone underneath the front end without incurring issues of flow separation. Super cars are marketed to have downforce. Key word is marketed. In reality they weigh too much for the simple aerodynamic features to do much of anything. Even the Dodge Viper ACR only generates roughly 1/2 the downforce of a proper racecar, while also weighing much more and thus reducing the effectiveness of the aero. And, for the 3rd time, I would strongly guess that there are more underlying “aero”/grip figures for each car than the simple two numbers we see in the tuning menu, as I believe this was the case in past GT games.
