Ganassi was at Calistoga last summer along with Larson to watch Rico race in the Kings of the West (winged 410 cars) series.

IMSA and WEC—where the Ford GT...uh...GT car will be racing—both balance performance. Most of the GTE field run with around 500 horsepower.

"There are, of course, differences between the race car and production Corvette Z06. For example, the C7.R carries over the powertrain for the C6.R, as the GT rules limit the maximum displacement to 5.5L, and prohibit forced induction."

It'll probably be de-tuned (DP engines are 550+ HP; GTE cars are ~500), but I'd guess most of the architecture is the same.

They aren't supercharged.

I haven't read enough to know for certain, but I suspect this is more or less the same engine that Shank (last year) and Ganassi (the last two years) have run in their TUSC entries. It's almost certainly the same block, though I'm sure the heads and ancillaries are different for the street car. But the output sounds…

Glad to see Jalopnik offer the equivalent of two cents American.

No road homologation for Prototypes; that's why they're officially prototypes. Then again, I'm not sure the ACO or FIA really follows up on GTE road car homologation, either.

The first 10 are listed at $59,995. All of them after that are $65K. They're giving a discount to the launch customers.

Headlamps are an option, as is a windshield wiper. Ostensibly, this could race in the Thunderhill 25H.

Yes, this is the same Elan Technologies that Panoz owns. The tech guy at the presentation, who did not officially speak, had a Panoz polo on.

The correct answer is a Fiero F40 kit car.

Here is said audio preview:

Superlite SL-C. Purpose-built track day car, though this one's been modified a bit.

You forgot the one and only Porsche. I think it'll give Davidson a run for its money.

But if you ruin ALL the J-Bodies, what will the Juggalettes drive?

The official designation is GT-R LM, so one supposes that it will have some kind of GT-R characteristics, though it's entirely unclear as yet what that might be.

Michael Krumm is almost certainly one of the development drivers, probably the lead one, and will very, very likely be one of the drivers.

Racing is not a meritocracy. You can argue that it should be, Gerard Barrabeig, but that doesn't change the fact that it's not.
