There is still a huge difference between the best road car and a purpose built race car. In the P&M Vette you would have a brain crushing orgasm if a street Vette could give you an erection. It just bothers me that GM markets the Vette as a LeMans winner when the street Vette is no where near the car they pay P&M to build for them. Sorta like when Mazda used to say the RX7 was first in class (scca) for x years running. No duh, it's the only car in the class. But that's the nature of spin marketing these days.
What am I falling for? I had an erection when the rear wheels lit up at 60mph. I laughed, then cried when I smacked a perfect heel toe downshift. I tried that in a 430 and 53 circuit boards and electric motors spooled up, then the windshield wiper stalk extended 10 inches and slapped my groin. Where's the marketing hype in the actual execution? Real drivers are getting fucked by the current crop of "enthusiast cars". I've never seen myself in a Vette, but how long until we have no choice but to accept reality? Sad reality... LS

Don't fall for that bit of marketing hype. The car P&M field for LeMans is a far cry from the car you buy at the Chevy dealer.... Oh sure, it looks like a vette, but no... This is silhouette racing.

Instead, you can't shift gears yourself in a Ferrari, Porsche has 3 cars that look like minivans, the Vette allows the driver to actually control the car and keeps winning Le Mans?

Well, that's from 2010, so it's already a five year old platform he's selling.I have to agree with your other points. Once you have a road car that has won Le Mans in its homologated format and sports the technology without the "nannies" -- I think all the "driver's" marques should have the necessary "defeat" switches to turn off all the electronics (even ABS, if I really want the fun of flat-spotting tires on the track ...)
I wish Porsche and Ferrari would offer an option to go to the factory and participate hands on in building the engine going into the car I order!
