Had some decals made by Cseils here on RCTech and did a car in honor of my new employer...plain and simple, easy to see and Home Depot wants to do a small article for their internal news paper / employee website.....not sure that will actually happen but I'm happy to be working for them regardless.
We run slicks in what we call Spec GT, which is limited to a 5.5 FDR.

If someone makes the Ford GT body and then the governing body says it's illegal, they would have some questions to answer. I get banning the DP cars because they are prototypes. They should have never been allowed in a series called USGT! The whole idea of GT is a production based street car built for racing.

But was way to wide for my chassis.

This class was/is supposed to really be about fun, scale looking race cars. Whether is a Fast and Furious Supra, an Audi R8, Corvette C7, a Mclaren, Furia, or the new Ford GT. they are all fun to see on the track together.
It has been proven by track results time and time again, that no single body had a true performance advantage. So if it's not a body on the current T2 list, a wedge body, a USVTA body, or a body purpose made for 1/10 WGT (example is the PF Silvia) let the car run. Why alienate certain cars because they are not "GT." We don't need another class out there just to run prototypes or supercars. There are already too many fish in the barrel.
Its time for everyone to get over themselves, put the cars on the track and have fun. 99 times out of 100, if your getting beat, it's not the body, or motor, or battery, or chassis that's causing the other guy to beat you. It's that wall on the inside of turn 3 you keep hitting.

If there is truly no advantage find a body you like within the rules and race it. If it comes to making another class to run LMP or DP cars so be it. Racing evolves, it certainly has since my early days of racing 1/12 scale Associated 12Es back in the late 70s and 80s, so lets make classes if we need to and tighten up the rules to accommodate the intent of the rules when they were written.
GT needs to be like VTA, real cars that one can buy in a showroom, decorated to resemble (not dulipcate) real race cars.......and not painted up with wild, elaborate and unrealistic schemes like Tour Cars.
But seriously, I really like what you did with the Porsche, great looking RC car body! And you were hooked up on Saturday, great consistent lines.

It's not about "if a body has an advantage' or not, it's about the spirit of the rule..... and can you buy a real one in a show room, or is it a specially built model for racing....as LMP and DP cars are.
