There may well be a small difference in CoG, but the real difference is in the aero. The cockpit is narrower at the rear allowing more air to the wing on the Mustang, There is bigger distance between the end of the rear window and the wing on the Mustang, and the end plates add huge amounts of stability like an F1 or sprint car. No wonder the Tickford drivers came from nowhere to be front runners now... This is no fluke.
What this also means is the Nissan's could really make a huge gain with a mustang rear wing, more so than the Holden. Heimgartner must be a better driver than the car is showing.
