What if NASCAR Wins LeMans Next Year?

This is a real photo, no Photoshop. What car just looks rather out of place?

I like this better. How much is this different than a current Trans-Am car?

GT3 and transam are very different.

also depends on which trans am class your talking about. TA2 cars are all tubeframe chassis, spec LS3 motors. TA cars are tube frame, also LS based engines.

GT3s are not tube frame, much closer to a street car.

[URY914]

I was thinking TA2 cars.

Don't really know the exact specs, but I saw the car test at Sebring. If the Euro fans think the faux-Cup Car sounds great, wait til they hear this.

They took it down.

Just saw that JJ is in the car running 37th overall.

I don’t think they have a shot at winning running close to the back of the pack. Lots of cars wrecked in the first 6 hours so 40th (ish) place out of 62 cars that started isn’t that great of a showing.

It’s still early in the race and anything can happen. I wish the Garage 46 team well.

If they are running at the end, that will be a success. It amazes me to see these cars take a beating for 24 hours and still run.

Is Garage 56 Camaro still in the race? (8:47 pm est) Not sure.

Currently in 36th overall, last I heard about 45 minutes ago.

[unclebilly]

Currently in 36th place and 12 laps down from the leader.

[unclebilly]

3:50 is their best lap time so competitive with the LM GTE Am class… not enough for an all out win unfortunately.

Anything can be made to go fast.
Le mans is about going fast for 24 hours.

Surprisingly Cadillac is doing well and has a fair shot.

Is Cadillac welcome or do we not tolerate them running at Lemans either?

Funny. I like fast cars. Imports and domestics. Good competition is what its al about. 13 hours in and the racing is still tight. Someone in the other thread really seems to hate the G56 car and I just dont get that.
