| Re: Aerodynamics
That particular comment had been deliberately used extensively in all the Ford GT promotional write ups and you can bet that there is always some commercial license taken whenever promotions are involved. Sure there was lift in the front of that GT40, but what might be "an incredible amount of front-end lift" by 2005 supercar standards can still be incredibly good aerodynamics by any other standard.
My opinion? Given the closeness in appearance between the 69 and 05 cars, I think that Ford were just protecting themselves against the inevitable criticism that Ford had made no gains in 40 years, and it worked. There was no such comment made by any critic. |
