sure P&M wouldn't mine and what is the difference if it is a factory car or not who won? Unless it would cost them more for advertising rights

yes, agree, they already do via P&M. Also, Callaway is prepping GT3 Z06R's (real Z06's) for the FIA GT3 series in Europe.
I would love to know what the Z06R's cost..... Basically a stock Z06 with racing nose, wing, cage, and fuel cell. I think they are heavily restricted however, as during the Paul Ricard race on SPEED, the leading C6R (gt1) blew by the Z06R (gt3) as if it had a 4 cylinder engine.
