Hello Jim,

     According to exhaustive (man am i tired of lookin' at this stuff)
     research, the ground effects were MOST beneficial to the BE's.
     Square bodies do get some, just not as much. There was a bunch of
     stuff about the airflow under and over the bonnet and then the
     difference in plenum at the back in being interfered with by the
     full length of the later springs and the reinforcement necessary
     for same. Thus more reduced oversteer for the BE's as well. Funny
     how a simple change of hood configuration NECESSITATED the
     changes at the rear to maintain a handling balance.

     The radio impovement was serendiptious, at least according to my
     research. The engineers were as surprised as anyone else when
     at the increased range and clarity of the signal in the car
     compared with the prototypes.
