Well, we'l see. Doesn't look that "aero," but then again that's why they have tunnels.

Aweful brave of you to offer "not sure how much I swallow." THat kind of language will get you martyred around here...!

That photochop is rediculously hideous. Shame that the car is not more 911ish like the old GT1s. I guess that the CGT never really seemed like a Porsche to me for some odd reason.

At that speed, a bit less aerodynamic drag means more than 5% of total horsepower...

GrantG makes a meaningful observation. Drag increases with the square of speed but required HP increases as the cube of speed.

A lot will depend upon Cd, total drag, gearing, and HP....
