    A few years ago, Peter Brock (of Cobra Daytona coupe fame) suggested in one of the big Corvette magazines that GM should commission an LSX-powered prototype. Of course they're bankrupt, etc.... #lemansracing

    @theeastbaykid: Why bother when the Corvette team is crushing Ferraris and Porsches comfortably in the GT class? There's nothing GM can gain from beating Aston Martins, Audis, and Peugeot.

    Unless Cadillac were to go racing again... #lemansracing

    @Pessimippopotamus: Actually, what is the latest with the GT classes? In ALMS, Corvette Racing was running essentially unopposed in GT1 (the 911s and F430s were in GT2), but I seem to remember that was going to change for 2010. I'd love to see the Corvette move down into GT2 and face real competition. Internationally, I have no idea where the Corvette fits in/stacks up. I know they've lost to Aston in recent years at Le Mans in GT1, but I've got no knowledge of other overseas GT racing. #lemansracing

    @theeastbaykid: Customer cars in FIA GT races do pretty well, actually. A GT1 C6.R often in podium position.

    In ALMS, they were running quite literally unopposed. At Le Mans, Corvettes and the DBR9s were neck and neck. Actually that made me sad to see GT1 class go. The last two years have been extremely exciting to watch.

    Even in GT2, they're massively potent, from what I saw during the Laguna Seca race. #lemansracing

    I got to fall asleep at to the sound of that V10 engine at LeMans this year. It has the most beautiful note of any engine I have ever heard. It beats out V12 F1 cars, big blocks, bikes, and any Italian stallion, bull, or other animal. Pure noise. No distortion, no roughness, no hint of misfire. It was the music of the gods. #lemansracing

    That Halloween costume looks pretty nice for a $500 Miata.

    Oh, Le MANS. Sorry, I thought I was reading Jalopnik's coverage of that other, more important racing series. #lemansracing

    He wrote one genuinely awful Grammy-winning song, but he is undeniably a monster musician, just watch some videos.

    He's probably at that gas station quite often, because the GT does suck..... gas.
