So after an exhaustive search on the internet I find out that the cd of the GT40 is .35 ??? WTF, I didn't think it was that bad !!!

However after looking at it closely and seeing how the front tires are directly in the air stream, among other things that are fishy in its design, I guess its justified.

Just thought a couple of you may have wanted to know this ...
If the car was intended for weekend racers,then the drag is probably a concession to handling on the track.I really like the radiator exit duct!
