No Ferrari in this picture...
...Pontiac, Porsch and Chevrolet 
Face it, no place for posers in real racing...

Lets not forget how many wins the 360 took before the team retired in Rolex Sports Car Series

yeah, i know how dominant the Corvettes have been in LeMans and Rolex series. Haven't watched it since before the GTO entered though.

Ahhh mate, they actually beat cars in the class above. I do remember them beating a fully functioning Vette at VIR or something that was in a class above.
I remeber because I brought it up in an argument with you once.
And they did race 911 in their class.
Oh and the old 360s are still a force in British GT, and British GT has some very impressive machinery. Including a Vette

gangajas - I have no idea about the driver. I was watching TV and I saw this race on SPEED channel, so I just packed and left lol. Managed to see last 6 hours of it (by then, no ferraris were running)
RC45 - not all depends on the car, much depends on the amount of cash the team put on the car so Ferrari not finishing while several GTOs did, does not surprize me. How come GTOs arent winning races in europe?

No Porsche, nor Pontiac either. And they're not in Champ Cars either.
