These aren't NASCAR racers. With only a few hundred horsepower aerodynamics definitely matters at lower speeds. 75 mph might be a stretch, but I think at triple digit speeds the better aero of the 370 would definitely help to lessen the effective gap in horsepower between it and my 5.0. A 120-150 pull would be a lot closer than a 20-100 mph slaughter.

Now with the 900+ HP NASCAR racers, they say that damage to the nose of the car doesn't really start to hurt performance until 140+. But that's because they've got 900+ HP plowing through that wind resistance.
