Race car identification?
Hey all, a guy at work sent me this pic and asked what kind of car this is. I'm not versed in race cars so I thought I ask here, see if you can ID it.
He also states "the photographer couldn’t remember or didn’t notice make, but says: It had a Cosworth Ford twin cam 4 cylinder."



What say you?

Thanks.

It's an early Porsche 911.

But there is another car on the foreground that's hard to distinguish without its front bodywork.

Looks like a late '70's Lola Sports 2000.

T490 or T492.

Well it does have an "S2" on the side.

"S2"= S2000 in the SCCA world.

It's played out, kind of like the lambo doors on a civic. Anyone with out a head up their ass knows 944's are the king of the track.
