You know it will be YUK when they use Mercury Cougar taillights.

And Dub: not 'a' Bullitt, THE Bullitt.

That rat rod is so gross right now in heaven (I'll guess) even Enzo is offering his sympathies to Ferruccio Lamborghini....

Always loved that generation GT. Curious what the badge on the front is? Doesn't look like Ford.

True the Mustang is the quintessential biff it trying to power slide out of the driveway car for C&C meets. But I’ve seen the representation from the Challenger/Charger camp has been making a hearty effort to try and take the crown in the past couple years. Not just C&C exits, but general street fuckery.

Hmmm. Maybe me not have a posi rearend in my camaro in high school was a good thing...

This should be a really good longevity test for them.
Not that they have all that much in common with their street versions.

This isn’t NASCAR. There’s actually quite a bit of production car bits in those GTLM cars. The new C8.R will be using the new flat plane engine (probably a variant of the Cadillac Blackwing V8) going into the next Z06.

The NSX GT3 car is very similar to the production car. Biggest difference is the race car is not a hybrid. But when I was at the factory, they were making production car frames and had some race frames there too. Only difference was one extra cross brace, otherwise identical.


I got to touch that silver C8.R at SEMA. Daddy like.

 

[FLH03RIDER]

Yeah, will be interesting to see how the C8's do in the 24.

But, I'm looking forward to seeing Cadillac take it's fourth straight win in the DPi class.

The C8-R definitely has a different exhaust note.
Here's a clip, start at 3:20.

On the same page is a sound clip of the C7-R. Play both of them at the same time!!!!
