He also mentions 80lbs of aero mods helping with crosswind stability.

Another thing to note is that he has rounded trailing edges. Normally we like a nice sharp transition into the void for reducing drag, but I have heard folks comment on that having a negative effect on crosswind response in cars (increases the effective tail size with a wall of wind?)
