Bill -

I have been on the big track at Willo a few times with the 65 mustang and you can definitly wind it up where it get a bit scary towards the end where it is a game of 'chicken' to see how far you can stay in it. The back of the fglass hood lifts off the car an inch or so which adds to the scare factor. I can't imagine a GT40 having worse aero then the Mustang (open front, no front spoiler, nice tapered back for lift).

Hey, nothing a 90lb bag of cement couldn't fix [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Don't forget the GT40 is a car from the early 60's and was probabally pretty good at that time.

Bill - Don't know if you have seen some of the threads on single vs. double snorkle hoods, that that is a factor too (May have been you that started the thread, can't remember)
