Anyone happen to catch the sebring gt class race. I did. Corvette smoked the competition. WEll yeah it has pushrods. Audi was crap, got a nice little jump off the line :shock: Im jokin about the crap. They did have a lot of problems but it was because of lack of testing. A former formula one driver the legendary stuck(pronounce that with a german accent) went from 32 to 4. The in cockpit veiw of this guy driving was awesome. The saleen mustang was a beast, but its a ford and blew up or something. just thought i would fill you in on what some primitive good ol cubic inch pushrod horsepower can do.

Was it the standard saleen street lookin stang or the S7?? I'm guessing it wasn't the S7. Nothing short of an indy car can touch those bastards.

The standard Saleen. The S7's don't run in Speed GT and there are plenty of cars that can touch the S7. I believe Micheal and me watched the Corvette C5R's and one Ferrari out do them at road atlanta.

What about the freaking Mazda's in touring car!? Can they be any faster? In the battle for 4th/5th place (if I'm not mistaken) the camera was in the cockpit of one of the BMW's which was right on one of the Mazda's bumpers. That is until they hit one of the main straits and the Mazda decided to put a freaking bus length on the poor BMW and that is no exaggeration. Those things are WAY faster than the other cars. What's even more sad is how the BMW's use to pull the ITR's in the straits.

The RSX did very well and bagged 2nd place. It's sad to finally say it but I believe the reign of the DC2 Integra Type-R is finally coming to an end. However winning the championship every year since its production is a nice legacy to leave behind. Realtime is putting all of there development money into the DC5 (RSX) and pushing it as their championship hunting car. That said PB Cunningham did start on the last row and was able to fight back to 15th place which isn't too shabby.

Yeah, I thought those RSX'S were "R's" and I just found out they are "S's." They said they still haven't tweaked out all of the bugs in the engine.

That's good but they have only been in the series for a short time. What's even more impressive IMO is that Realtime has supposedly only blown one B18C5 since 1997.
