Ernie: is the Naval equivalent of a Rocket Scientist, a "Submarine Specialist?" We're niether, but Doc Stenhouse is one of em!
Bill A: That's what everyone is saying... that in the Superformance-Brock Coupe it feels like HALF the speed they are really going. And that is awesome in terms of high speed potenial, and fearsome if you have less than a perfect driving record ;-)
Mike, I have a Pantera GT-5 and that wing really does use the wind. My hatch opened up at about 50 and the gas shocks shot it stright up. Pulled up to a buck twenty on the speedo and it not only pushed the hatch down, but at 140 it clicked it back shut. And I'm sure the long arm would have understood had I been placed into that situation to explain that.
Doc Stenhouse, I would be interested in the aero-comparison of the GT-40 and the Pantera... while the '40 looks sleeker, the Panty does look less "busy" in the wind.

Also, what specific points on the Superformance-Brock Coupe were the most improved over the vintage versions? does the car have more or less downforce, and is there a point where the downforce is "too much" thus reducing top speed potential? I really need a wind tunnel in my back yard... oh, wait, that would be called "spring" here in Tornado alley.
