Amazing! You got my vote for this. My friend owns a '72 Charger. Was this car powered by a NASCAR engine?

Crazy is the right word. NASCAR weight & brakes that fit inside 15" rims. When did they start braking for the corners?

Hell yes. The more the merrier.

I agree. I may not like every car that is suggested but it's better than PD spending time on vision cars that'll never see the light of day or boats for that matter.
I could say the same about the 39,000 varieties of MX5 & Skylines

The Miatas and Skylines are not a concern anymore as far as what PD's currently doing with car modelling. If we look at the premium car list (What they have modeled since GT4) we find just one Skyline GT-R of every R30 generation, 4 variants of road R35s (they're rather different from each other) and only two NA miatas and one NC miata. The premium car list is also far more balanced in car selection thankfully.

Yeah I definently didn't see that boat coming. How much time and resource do you think they'll waste rendering a water course?

I had a similar reaction to the moon

Here's some additional information on NASCAR at LeMans.

Also, the Chargers failed because of a misunderstanding in the French octane ratings versus the American octane ratings. 93 French octanes, are apparently only 88 American octanes. The crew tried to fix the problem by adjusting teh fuel mix and timing, but it was not to be, at least for the Oly Charger.
