C6R is racing this year, last year was the C5R, just like 04 model year cars were also of the C5 persuasion.

American Le Mans Series Racing is road circuit racing, and probably the best racing youre going to see in America aside from F1 in my humble opinion. Very nifty cars and VERY good tracks.

Here is the C6R for this year:



Sorry for the big pics but this is my favourite, Im using a similar (well not really but KIND of) air intake mechanism for the 434 that Im getting. Itll have such little clearence with my hood it wouldnt get nearly enough air otherwise.



Just a note, on the 17th the new C6R went 1 and 2 at Road Atlanta, and the old C5R STILL beat the Viper, and was 5th. When will those poor fools over at Dodge ever learn?

Let us not forget though that FORD won the first race with the Aston Martin DB9 at Sebring

Its amazing watching the C6R pass the C5R and just walk on em.

The Saleen would be alot better except the weight penalties
