Oh come on! Havent you been watching the race results lately[and last year]?
I'll say it once and I'll say it again! It's not a ****ing even battle if the Viper's were still factory backed too they'd be kicking that vette's ass all day. Hell the S7R privateer pretty much spanked them in the last ALMS.

if the vipers were still factory backed too they'd be kicking that vette's ass all day. that new viper that debuted earlier this year could do that. I have a skeched picture of the new viper in its race form.(the future if you willVIPFREAKI'll say it once and I'll say it again!

they are talking about running two cars so imagine what would have happened there if two would have been in the front. Double ass-kicking!

I prefer the short tail, although the long tail is still sexy 👍 I hope to get a collection like VIPFREAKs soon, but of McLarens. Gonna be bloody expensive, but I have seen green ones, silver, LMs, red, prototypes, race cars. I refuse to buy anything less than 1:18 scale too, for some reason. I saw a 1:12 McLaren F1 in green go for like £200 on eBay recently, will be a while until I buy one of those!
Yeah, that one went for $750, 22 carat gold, snakeskin box with velvet lining. Very very nice, I bet he will make it his mission to buy 1 now

I haven't found any 1:18 long tails, only short tails. any companies that make the Mercedes CLR? I haven't found any of them.d12dotcomI prefer the short tail, although the long tail is still sexy 👍 I hope to get a collection like VIPFREAKs soon, but of McLarens.

thats interesting to hear. I just thought you were just like that because you're a huge viper fan. what made you think"whoa, this is getting out of hand"?VIPFREAKNo.. and I don't plan too.on that note... a long time ago I had to "cut down" on my obsession because it would have driven me nuts trying to collect EVERYTHING Viper.

The M3 GTR used a V8 derived from the M5. Porsche complained that while the engine specifications were technically legal, the fact that no roadgoing M3 had this engine should bar the M3-GTR from GT class competition (where the cars are supposed to be close to stock in terms of the chassis, engine, and drivetrain). BMW did their best to adhere to the new homologenation requirements, producing about 50 road-going versions (I think) of the M3 GTR (each listed for over $250,000). The rules were changed even further to disallow this. It was proposed to BMW to run the car in the GT-S class, but there is no way the car would have been fast enough to compete against 7-liter Corvettes and Saleens. Consequently, BMW decided to discontinue their ALMS/Le Mans participation in 2002. Sad really; the M3 GTR was a glorious machine that I never got to see in person (I missed the 2001 ALMS race in Portland 
). It also began Porsche's dominance in the GT category, since they systematically eliminated their only real competition. Hopefully BMW has something in the works to return, as their absence from these competitions has been sorely missed. Perhaps since the new M3 will have a 400hp V-8, they'll come back?
Also, my C5-R is the 2002 Goodwrench-sponsored version (#4) driven by Andy Pilgrim and Kelly Collins, made by AutoArt. It's a stunning model
