exactly ur right about the last paragraph, but about the first paragraph just because a car was extremely succesfull in a race version doesnt mean the road version has tons of downforce too, the downforce of a race car with its front,side and rear body kit, rear wing, and if it had a diffuser which it probably did would all give it wayyyy more downforce/stability then the road car. Look at a Ferrari 360 not a whole lot of downforce as a road car probably less then 200 pounds of downforce but as a race car its making like 2000 pounds of downforce, same thing with the 550/575M which probably has even less downforce then a 360 but as a race version has over 4000 pounds of downforce simply because thats what the rules allow.
