The car in front is actually the #58 Brumos Porsche, not the #91 Pontiac. There is a very distinctive engine note heard when the12 car closes upon it.

I like how at 1:50 the two cars in front collide somewhat and that's how whoever's driving gets around them, sneaky and clever!

ok, now widen the stance, lengten the weelbase, give 'em 720 hp turbos, and no aero restrictions and ill be excited. these cars only put out more laps than the old gtp cars cuz they work around horsepower to weight ratio. if they'd stop trying to make a bunch of perfect 400hp cars and start trying to make 700 hp turbos handle the best they can, thats where the skill comes in. now its just heres a chasis & engine/tire package,fine tune, race, call it a day. YAWN!
