Remember dude, this doesn't completley determine how good the vehicles aerodynamics are

The Gallardo actually does quite well in the overall aerodynamic test as does the Murcielago. It sounds
like you have interest in the following, so tomorrow i'll start work on the actual downforce/lift or neutral
figures these vehicles develop.

For example: I'll also include the overall aerodynamic rating they were given

Ford GT @ 200 km/h: develops 44kg of downforce but develops 2kg of lift at the rear

V8 Vantage @ 200 km/h: develops 48kg of lift at the front and also develops 13kg of lift at the rear end
