600+ horsepower and the engine has already won sportscar races in the US. It's not slow.

What is cheating about it?
And why shouldn't America be able to build a competitive endurance race car?

What car company is in Aust ? GM, Toyota and Ford are the last of them..
I would say they would use Euro experience to do suspension etc?

only when you make a sly remark about Ferrari, then the party starts.

Where will they source the pit crew for this?
They can't use ford techs because when something fails like the diff bush or gearbox they won't fix it because "they all do that" or "you have obviously raced this car"…..
