Pretty sweet, be fun to watch what tidbits/knowledge from the GT4 will come into the production cars moving forward into the future.

Interest comments about the improvements in aero. I did a short test in a GS Porsche and the lack of aero really made things 'interesting'. The Conti tires they run in the series are built for longevity, not grip, so the lack of mechanical grip from the tires combined with almost no help from aero made driving the car feel like an exercise in pitch and catch. Sounds like the rules for the new GT4 cars are a big step up and lap times should drop accordingly.

Thanks, I looked earlier in the year and had trouble finding the schedule. Here's the Facebook page for next week's race: FB RACE. Looks like they stream it live too. Very exciting!

That hood looks vicious!! Sounded like a 350R out there. Love the sound of that engine. The 5.2 CPC. Sounds pretty good too, just not flutey like the FPC.

Looking forward to seeing how the GT4 does against the comp. Sounds like they aren't the most confident but better that way than being over confident.

Unless IMSA hits them with new bop. They were the fastest cars in the 4 hour race @ Daytona this year. Two drive thew penalties killed their chance of winning @ near the end of the race. Maxwell had his wheels in motion while up on the jacks. The auto trans takes some practice. Too bad they had it in the bag.

The Camaro GT4.R has also just been released and will be entering in the same class soon too. It will be interesting to see if the Mustang GT4 keeps its speed edge over Porsche (which won the last race) and against Chevy's new challenger.
