Started reading a book on the theory of aerodynamics for road vehicle. The Cerbera seems to have good and bad points.

Are drag numbers available? Was the Cerbera windtunnel tested? Does anyone have experience with simple mods that make a difference eg front air dam, number plate repositioning, boot lip, better ducting of the engine cooling airflow? Has anyone smoother the underside of the car?

From what I have read it looks like the doors are a beautiful design feature but aerodynamic nightmare.

I fear I might be living proof that a little information in the wrong hands can be a dangerous thing.

I have always wondered what the aero was like. When I was at the 'ring the I got the car upto 165 and it felt very stable but I guess subtle mods would help high speed cornering and probably top speed but without a wind tunnel at your disposal it would be pretty much guess work i would expect.
