Interestingly an Audi A8 has a torsiional rigidity of 36,000nm. One could argue that it needs the stifness because of its weight and size. However one could also argue that a GT40 should have more torsional rigidity because of the power plants used and the handling importance.

I would hope that a GTD has more than 2,600 ft/lb per degree. That seems low in comparison to an orginal.
