the biggest problem with the multilink in the cobra was wheel spin was to heavy. the live rear could be easily/cheaply modded with lockers to get both spinning at the same rate thus producing faster 1/4th times. and i agree that the mutilink was done poorly.
news flash for the previous gen mustang was it wasnt designed in a wind tunnel either. cirtainly the looks of any car arent liked by everyone; its just opinion on a per person basis.... like music. the c/d is supposedly .32 it may be a brick, but a smaller brick then an suv. the only time aero comes in with cars is when traveling in excess of 120mph.... where on supercars like the 360 challenge, the d/f is only in the area of 200 lbs.... this is cirtainly better then 0, or a coefeiciant of lift. just by general car disign, there is inherent lift if there is airflow of significant nature on the underside. this is why there is usually some sort of front spoiler, and rear bonet or spioler to negate, or reverse the lift effects.
