Rick Gilhart's old car? I remember it from the Putnam Club Race in 2006. It was very quick then, but I have not seen it since.

It looks like a lot of car for the money. GTB2 I think?

If it still has a 3.6 TT motor, more like GT-1 or 2.

I thnk so. I only saw it race once, but it sure seemed quick then. At one point, after a tight right curve, I remember Rick laying down two big black stripes as the car was trying to hook up. Wheelspin at 50 MPH, so suffice to say the car makes good power.
