The GM High performance division is just opposite.

I think they are probably closely related in some ways.

They are closley knit actually. The last few Lemans races, GM has used the shop/dyno for alot of testing and upgrades on the Corvette race cars with Manthey's crew.

I was thinking the same thing.

I had the pleasure of being a passenger in one. The power was what I expected, but nothing can prepare you for the noise. The sound was incredible. Truly an awesome machine.

Manthey's HQ is based at the Ring. This particular owner drives his car on track quite frequently.

As you should be able to see he has switched wheels so that he can use different size and type tires.

I believe he has also modified the suspension for better on-track behavior.

IMHO there is no such thing as a perfect car.
