cool, I already got my weekend pass, so I will do my best to take some pics/record some sounds.
If you can get into the pits let J. know. It will likely be front page...

Be honest, throw the "I'm doing this for Mustang6G" in there.

You might be surprised what that gets you...

No homologation for PWC. I am speculating that since the car makes over 500 HP that it won't run in PWC. I am guessing that the PWC-spec car will be based off the GT platform. Slap a Boss intake on a 2015 GT engine and call it good. We already have a massive restrictor so I don't see why we would want more power...

How does this effect a Shelby/Ford derived GT350R-S in SCCA?

I totally agree with him, it's not a GTS class car. I don't think it's a GS class car either.

Wanna see an honest company at work?

http://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2015/gm-sued-mail-wire-fraud.shtml

That's a $10,000,000,000 fine on top of everything else.

They have even cheated the U.S. Postal Service? Now being fined...


Keep the Faith!!!


Oh, by the way... The government just added them to the RICO list. The "CO" in RICO means Corrupt Organization.

So... enjoy that label...

Yeah. They've been running like a shady corp. for a while.

Glad to see some light being shed on it.

And this isn't some conspiracy. This is real.

Wow.

It's not a done deal, but looks like they're in trouble and likely to be in violation.

They're willing to go to great lengths to break laws and some people are unwilling to recognize that they fudge numbers? LOL

60mm restrictor on a 90mm TB.

Vs.

58mm restrictor on an 84mm TB.

58mm meaning the overall diameter of the restrictor.
So the Z28 runs a to 33% smaller then stock and the new GT350 is 31% smaller. They are really choking these cars. :crazy:

Both cars are GT worthy, maybe a few years from now both will be a GT class car.

I think Degiorgio blew the whistle when the Feds talked to him June 18th and 19th. He was questioned about the incidents then and now GM is in violation of RICO.

As of right now both the GT and the R street cars are faster than the z28 at VIR and Grattan.

I can't tell you how I know.
I heard about VIR, nothing on Gratten.


IMSA CTSC PRACTICE STARTS AT 3pm-ish TODAY and runs for about an hour.

You should be able to watch ALL practices, quals and the race itself HERE.

Lambo just finished...

Edit: Not sure if Practice and Q is video'd.

What is the time of the z28? I didn't see it listed on the track times.

Found it. Looks like a 2:50.90
