Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Cadillac, myself, but damn, this looks very good!

Personally, I'd be in favour of USGT sticking to GT1/2/3, and staying out of LMP1/2, and even DP, leaving the prototypes for the pan cars. The pan cars both fit those bodies better (no pesky shock towers in the way), and also better represents the all-out racing attitude (as in, they properly leave the touring cars in their dust).

But body styles are rather difficult to make rules for, the split wing is one way of avoiding the worst, but doesn't cover the DP (and many LMP) bodies...
