With all the racing Chris does, I don't find it hard to believe what Mitch said.
Who knows if it's true, but anyone else care to comment?

Interesting numbers. If the downforce was that much, it wouldn't surprise me at all as this car seems really planted at speed...
On Friday morning before going to work, I'll use a tape measure to gets some specs on my SVX's rear wing. May shed a little light on whether Subaru designed this wing like a upside-down airplane wing???
