In testing at Sebring over the last week, the two RSR's are clearly showing their heals to the rest of the competition. At almost 1.5 seconds faster than the nearest competition(Ferrari) and almost 2 seconds faster than the Vipers and Vettes...I wonder how long it will be before IMSA will penalize the cars for being too fast.

Uh..not so much. The Corvettes ran the Porsches out of town years ago and have themselves been heavily "equalized" by the rules makers over the years. They have been one of the best GT racing teams in history over the last decade+
The Viper success was also well earned and had nothing to do with the 911 being penalized. Give credit where credit is due.
Both American companies produced well run teams with reliable and fast cars. period.
