Wee need something faster than a AM to run with or the restrictions will never come off! AM just needs to turn thier game up a little, but when the system works for you why do that? Corvette just need some faster cars out there with them.

I did ask that question of DR.Z

MB has a new E550 with a close ratio 6sp manual trans.


Ferrari's new 599GTC is not living up to the test standards that the 550 ot 575 GTC have set. May be an improved 575 GTC vs the 599 in the future.

Ford GT sold all they made and it is cancelled so they don't need to promote it. Mustang is in Grand Am I guess that is enough for them.

They are coming back in a few years with a closed top LMP1 car. Supposedly there will be a street car released to homologate it with around 900 horsepower.
