If Edo can make such a car, pretty much a race car with blinkers, why don't they race in the 24 hrs of the 'Ring? A fast one lap is one thing but a reliable car doing fast laps over 24 hrs is another.
components from the GT1 = reliable, "only" an extra 50 hp = reliable.... of course, you never know what will happen in a race.
True a race isn't the best of tests but Edo sure seems like a race team just without the team and cars. As the car in the vid is more race than street meaning stripped out, cage, race seat and all that other stuff.

As for the extra 50 hp you mean more like 140 hp from a standard GT2 spec M64 engine or do you mean 50 more than the GT1 spec engine? I think i missed where the power figures were in the thread
