Thanks for the pictures you must have had a good time. Did Ford have a display @ the race ?

Beautiful car, wouldn't mind taking a few laps in it. What mods do they make to the motor or are they required to run stock?

This is all I could find about it on their website:

Naturally-aspirated Ford quad-cam, dry-sump V8 with flat-plane crankshaft, 5.2l displacement, assembled by Roush Yates Engines
Bosch MS5.0 ECU with engine calibration optimized for endurance racing
Stainless steel tuned Ford Performance Racing Parts exhaust

They didn't do quite as well; I've read they were hobbled by some sort of engine restrictor... starting this race.

Stock engine. Just has a tune for race conditions along with less restrictive exhaust and 58mm restrictor (which they've run since the debute at Watkins Glen). There has been one (1) BoP change to these cars, and that was after CTMP, which was an added 50lbs.

Right now, only the Z/28.R and GT350R-C have intake restrictors.

IIRC, the M3 also has a restrictor.
