    Looking forward to seeing this monster in January on track. Finally a DP car that looks good. Some of the design of this car is sure to show up on the production line.

    This is GM prepping everyone for a (rear) mid engine corvette. Trolling all mid engine "never going to happen" folks. I kid, but do find this to be a very strange direction for Corvette Racing as one would think the engine/auto development/ marketing dollars spent in ALMS would yield a greater ROI.

    No preperation for a mid engine car. This car is like the other prototype cars, built to a formula.

    The car almost certainly has styling clues that are taken from the upcoming production car but the current layout will remain intact.

    Yes, I was kidding about the mid engine prep. and I'm well aware of the Grand Am formula.

    This will be one of the few cars readily identifiable with its maker. However, I still am at a loss as to GM's choice to invest in this particular series/class. None-the-less, she's real beaut Clark, a real beaut.

    It kind of looks like a fatter version of a Mosler MT900, don't you think ?

    Simple. They want Corvette to win the 24 hours of Daytona, and Grand Am/NASCAR was willing to work with them to give an advantage. Chevrolet Marketing never took advantage of Corvette Racing's success in ALMS and at LeMans.

    Agree that it's the only Grand Am car that looks good.
