I guess that puts to rest a couple of things.
1/ The GTR isn't the only GT2 competitor
2/ Americans can make cars that turn corners finally.

Vette's have been turning corners for years. They broke 1G on the skid pan so far back I cant remember. Maybe with the C4.

They just havent been officially going to the ring until recently.

The Vette being a corner turning exception to almost anything else on the market, until now when they got the G8, cloned from a BMW downunder!!! :)

Mike Simcoe is over there helping them on designs, at the same time learning about the agressive external styling that turns them on! :)
