    IMO Those things are uglier than the Humongous tails that Porsche was running for a couple of years. This one was the 908 I believe.

    You're right but that's why they hit 200 mph.

    I'm thinking the GT categories are going to be the start of the racing this season. With Ford, Chevy, Aston Martin, Viper, Ferrari, BMW and Porsche all mixing it up on paper this looks to be fun.

    They had one at the NASCAR race today driving around the track under a huge American flag being pulled by a truck.

    I'm sensing a trend...here's the new Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Must be something new in the GT regs.

    During practice today for the Long Beach GP one of the Ford GTs caught fire in the engine compartment. I think that means it has now officially joined the supercar ranks. :D
