I sincerely doubt that the GT will be racing...it's purpose was solely to defeat the 360 Modena, Gallardo and Porsche 911 on the road. It is not intended as a race car unlike the original.

I didn't work on the GT program, but yeah, I'm the one that worked at Ford...I realize that both of the GT's main competitors are in the LeMans series, but I still doubt that any GT's will be racing...they really were designed only for road use. (granted, that truck engine would be durable as hell on a racetrack hehehe)

Gm won't say anything on it. So far it's onyl a rumor.

A lot of teams dropped out last year formt he ALMS. But there are some new cars this year.
Vici Racing is supposed to have a Murcelago R-GT
Risi Competizion will have two 360's I believe
Dewalt is listed as running a TVR and a Morgan, but my guess is they'll race at Sebring and thats it

What's happened to the Zonda from hezemans, I heard it didn't perform that well...in a 12 hour race (sebring) it lasted only 12 minutes...I really want to see this car again.
The more variety in cars, the better it is!

American Viper Racing were supposed to run one last year, but didn't get far. Too many bugs needed to be worked out and they didn't have enough time. I haven't a clue as to whether or not they are running one this year.

As far as I know, there won't be any teams running a Lotus.
