Default Aerodynamic aids on Cobras

I circuit race a Cobra in Classic racing in New Zealand. The racing is very competitive here, and very fast. The Cobra produces good power at around 650 - 700 hp from a Race prepared Hillborn Injected Big Block Chev (sorry Ford guys). Power is not the problem, traction is!

I am contemplating adding a wing to the rear of the car, and a front air dam to improve downforce, and wondered if anyone had come across any winged-cobras.

I am thinking of a fairly large wing, maybe a bit like the can-am style cars, a large wing mounted on struts to raise the wing away from the bodywork.

I am not sure how this would look, and welcome any comments either positive or negative.

The car is very fast in a straight line, I have gone just a tad under 200mph in it to date. I have made an aluminium cover for the passengers side, the car has an aeroscreen and an aluminium flat bottom. So aerodynamically, it is about about as good as a cobra is going to be other than stopping the air getting under the car (the air damn would help here).

I have attached a photo of the car, in which you can probably make out closed in passengers side etc.

Any comments?
