The Toyota wasn't as grippy as full-tunneled cars of the era, but I suspect that it is comparable in downforce to today's cars due to its length and width, plus the semi-tunnels. The best of today's cars have better suspensions and especially better dampers and tires than cars of 12-15 years ago. I think that goes a long ways towards explaining the fast lap times of today's cars, in spite of their lower horsepower.
