Yeah, we had a really good time...we drove in at like 3:00 am on saturday and then got up at like 7:00 am and headed over to the track...spent practically all day there and then went back to the hotel...slept, woke up at like 8:00 am and drove home, lol...needless to say we were tired But I would do it all over again though, it was awesome...

SO why is it that all the RACE stangs have those rimes on them?

Those are the FR500-C rims, available in the FR500-C packages. They're 18x10 all around. Dont think about it! Won't fit in the S197 front, at least I dont think it will....

And yeah pretty cool, that orange and black one with the hood open has the new 5.0 DOHC cammer engine. I sort of think that engine is the future for the mustang or the GT500.

edit: after an Ebay search.... the fr500-c rims, the real thing, cost over $1K per wheel!

Maybe those are great wheels, but $1k a piece, thats a little out of my budget, lol...

I was sad to see that none of the stangs finished the race. They werent running that great. I could not believe how well those Rx-8's were doing. When I lived in Daytona I went to the Rolex every year. I think I might have to go back for next years.

Thanks for the pics

Yeah, it was actually a lot of fun...it was almost like a car show in the infield there were so many different people there...

S197s look killer in race trim!

An RX8 took the GT class. Next best thing to a Ford I guess. I actually thought about one before I bought my Mustang, but I think they're a little over priced.

Grand Am > NASCAR! I wish road racing got as much coverage as the driving-in-a-circle stuff. Miss the Trans Am series.

Yeah I wish we had a better showing as well...but as far as endurance goes I think stuff like rotaries and smaller engines just end up doing better for one reason or another...but those Cammer motors are bad@$$
