Two quibbles:

No mention that a positive or negative value has differing effect on the opposite ends of the vehicle.
No mention of moment arm. A given lift at one end will have a different effect than at the center of the roof. IOW 10lb of downforce at each end would/might counter 25lb of lift at the roof.

Am I wrong once or twice?
