I have a strong suspicion that at least one of our contingent is right now working out how hard it would be to make it road legal...

Thanks for posting Neil, there is also a VCA thread on Le Mans (for anybody who's interested).

Lets hope the cars do well!

i think they may struggle this year, as they way off the pace of the Vette and AM in qualifying

the one viper is a lot slower than the other at the moment, and the fastest viper is 5 seconds a lap behind the AM...
lets hope they can find some speed

i think the GT3-R price may put Neil off a little,
its starts at $459K so they will only sell a handful of them, espicially when you compare that to the price of the racing compe coupe which was $130K

Maybe a group buy would slash the price smile

Only to be expected realistically. First time there with the new car. The AM and the C6 Corvette are nearing the end of their life and so have all that experience from previous Le Mans. Vettes were a bit off pace too though maybe. Hard to tell with the odd qual sessions with all those red flags and that odd weather.

That Viper looks cool though.

Have to say the Red road car outside the tent looked very dull next to the GT3 race car, I did ask Ralph if we could have the GT3 as a road car biggrin

Lol Nigel. Like that matters if you can afford to buy and race it at 459!!

Looks the nuts though doesn't it.

Won't that Texan couple they had along account for at least one of those? It does look great though - far more what I expect from a Viper smile
