From: Land of Fruits and Nuts, but the weather is perfect.
Modified street ABS with setting for different tires and conditions.
Very small improvement in downforce over the street GT4. They did some work under the front end and added the gurney to the back of the street wing.
Lap times comparable to a GT3RS.

I'm really excited to finally announce that we are running them. We have been working on a solution for GS for a while now and this has been shrouded in secrecy for a while.
Our IMSA cars will tun on the spec Continental tire so the costs are controlled. My apologies to those who want to drop Michelin money on these things.
On a plus side since a lot of guys are complaining about costs- Porsche is suggesting engine life and trans life will be double that of 3-cups and core exchanges on 3.8L engines vs cup engines is not even close.
In regards to the pricing side-
Buy a euro car for 120k, 16k fuel cell, 6+seat, 18k airfreight, and sales tax and you arrive at pretty much the same spot.
We still don't know what the car's life cycle (hubs bearings etc) parts will be but the car comes with KW shocks. In IMSA we can run whatever rotors we want as long as they are the same size but I think anything with 360-380mm rotors will be a lot more than our Miata rotors from the last few years.

[OT] Wait, there are people actually making money while racing? Are there any books explaining how this is done? Serious question.
