Yes - you can't have too many Can Am cars in a game. The M8A 1968, M8F 1970 and M8F 1972 have been suggested - any or all of these great cars would be welcome.

Some readers won't know what the fuss was about: these were Group 7, unlimited capacity, unhomologated (prototype) sports cars with little weight and an abundance of power over grip. The racing itself often wasn't close because one team normally dominated, but in a game a grid of these monsters would be a joy. We already have the Chaparral 2D and 2J and the Toyota 7 and we definitely need more!

Turn the sound up to max for this brief clip!

 
Toyota intended to race the 7 in Can-Am, but a fatal crash in testing put a stop to the whole project.
