Porsche Develops New 911 GT3 For Rolex Series Competition

Why can't GM contract Riley or somebody to build Corvettes?
The objective was to create a competitive new car that provides longevity, versatility and a degree of flexibility for the customers planning to compete in the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16. This car has some significant improvements compared to its predecessor, the 2009 GRAND-AM Rolex Cup car, such as fully adjustable suspension to optimize handling and tire wear. The brake system was upgraded and includes an endurance brake cooling package for long-distance races. Furthermore, the exhaust system received a substantial weight reduction.
The vehicle base price is $205,000 f.o.b. Weissach, Germany, plus importation and
transportation. Further inquiries can be made through PMNA at www.porschemotorsport.com.

Of course, anybody with the coin can get Riley or Pratt & Miller, LG,
Phoenix etc to build them a GA Corvette. You don't need GM to do it.
A Riley or PM car would probably cost well over 300 K.

Burning Brakes
I don't know for sure but would imagine this is related to Brumos pulling out of DP to run a 911 in GT class.
Probably not a good PR move for GM to pay anyone to build anything right now. Even their current ties are too much for some.
