Those are all restricted cars. Why build a unrestricted one for test. Make no sense, guy. Porsche did it with the purpose of destroying all track records, and it cost millions . Just for pride. Gm has no interest in that, just pure sales. You ain't fooling, nobody, is just a click bait

[@Maverick9k]

​​​@@kevindavidson2291my man, they had the newest car in GTE when all their competitors stop putting in full support for the program because more attention was put towards GT3. Plus you have to think about how incompetent GM is, those fools said they can't extract anymore performance from a front engine RWD platform, even though Aston Martin was kicking their butts. So instead they just make a Walmart Great Value Ferrari, and guess what, Lexus is beating them now with the front engine rwd platform that GM said they can't extract anymore performance out of.

@@benjaminmartindale You seriously need your hearing checked. This thing sounds like positively awful. Maybe they could tune it differently to get low end rumble? Sometimes it sounds like a 6 cylinder. And you know how putrid that sounds. Maybe it's just how flat plane V8's sound. Listen to a Ferrari....it's also nauseating if it's a V8. MB and BMW have great sounding, rumbling V8's. Let's face it....almost all V8's sound wonderful. This one doesn't. But it does have great performance, no question. Must be a dream to drive.

[@dexgeta.9940]

Fortuna

[@jeremyhansen8186]

It is restricted in air flow to the engine which limits the combustion thereby limiting the horsepower. They call it balance of performance or BOP. It's supposed to make different manufacturers and designs all be competitive without one being dominant over the other. There's other aspects to BOP as well like weight added or removed, and downforce restrictions and so on and so forth.

[@luislongoria6621]

The flat plane crank means you need to bang thru all the gears like a motorbike to keep it in the narrow powerband. The even firing pulses of a flat plane crank allow you to run more boost without grenading the intake manifold while eliminating the uneven audio clues coming from the intake on a normally aspirated engine; which also makes it easier to get in past your head when pushing hard
