They were doing OK.

The Porsches dominate though. No hondas or **** like that in this.

One 350z and two RX8s

The S197 was getting killed on the curves, but looked hella mean. Sounded nasty too.

I would have had more pics, but my friggin camera took a **** and all I had was the camera phone :P

I don't think they take that race seriously enough with the S197.
That car can do much better I'm sure.

They're staying somewhat competitive with a solid rear axle! And they sound mean . That goes a long way in my book. lol!

I noticed that too.
That means 1st overall? Over prototypes?
It doesn't sound right.

But hey, I wanna see a S197 do good at Le Mans.

I dont think those s197s run the 4.6 we have... i believe they run the "cammer" crate engine from Ford. a 5.0 V8 that is stock at 420hp N/A, for about $14K. Race teams tend to use that andbuild or F/I it up to where they want it.its a cool engine though because it comes with wiring harnesses for the car as well as a new computer... anyways a bit different, but these race cars are still s197's imo.

oh yeah, the #6 finished 14 overall and 9th in its class
