:rofl: Cue the "speed doesn't make the race" remarks from the Grand Am lovers. I caught a few minutes of it today and noted that one of our locals was in the lead then had a nice nap as the race "progressed." Not exactly edge of your seat racing... yawn.

And faster than a champcar on the long straight!! 190.7 vs. 188!! (from the coswoth tech).

Has to do with the larger undertray and getting off the last corner faster... rev limiter, boost, and gears are about the same.
