Goran,

Your car is a modified Pantera, and if I remember correctly, it has a very aggressive front spoiler with a splitter and fairly aggressive side skirts?

I wouldn’t think a GT40, with it’s rounded lower sides and no skirts, would see as much downforce in street trim. Also, I don’t think you could rake it a lot and still have it be streetable.

That said, did you measure this on you car before you fitted the spoiler and side skirts? If you were able to get something near that much from a Pantera without side sills and with a streetable spoiler, I may have underestimated what is possible here.
