My money is on Checo this weekend, for no reason other than I think he’s really good. 

None. GT2 doesn’t exist anymore.

It was once the place where the 993 GT2 did battle, however. 

Those are street cars based on the specifications for those classes, though. This is a race car that is racing but not racing in GT3, because it’s ineligible. 

e-fuel is pretty much non-viable in my eyes. It’s a pipe dream that will never reach widespread use. 

Nobody is making you come here.

Technically the RSR isn’t a GT3 either. It’s homologated from the Carrera 4S widebody chassis, so it’s actually been called “911 RSR” since the 991 model was introduced in 2013.

Ah, but the modified Porsche 919 Hybrid was no longer called an LMP1, because it didn’t fit LMP1 regulations.

Continental Pikes Peak would have been sufficient.

Disagree. If it doesn’t fit the class, it’s not a GT3.

I can buy a NASCAR stock car shell and put a 2JZ in it, but it’s not a NASCAR stock car anymore.

Taycan Turbo is a great car, but an unfortunate name. Porsche has a recent track record of unfortunate naming, however. 911R and 911T hurt me deep in my soul. 911R should have been a GT3 Cup with an interior, and 911T should have been a bare-bones narrow body car with cloth seats and an 80K price tag.

Of ALL the things I’ve written, this is the one that stuns you?

None of the Ferrari entries have been truly factory-backed. They might pay a driver here and there, and provide a little engineering support, but that whole program has been pushed forward by AF Corse and Risi. Ferrari never took it seriously. 

“Hey Tesla, Butt Chug This Electricity”

Yeah, maybe. They didn’t list a dry weight, but the tank is 3 gallons and change. 

I’m similar size to you, 6'2" and big. Scout Bobber is a good size for people like us, but it’s extremely uncomfortable for long rides. I did a nice ride on Royal Enfield’s INT 650, and that seems like a great bike for the money.

If you’re looking for a vintage-styled bike with big boy comfort, a used Harley probably… Read more

ready to ride means full of fluids and a tank of gas.

I’m a big fan of the RE twins. That 650 is a great motor. 

968 is not a straight six. It’s a 3-liter four. 

The SVO also cost MORE than a GT.

It’s a van, dude. Why does it need more power?
