Oh i am pretty familiar with that logo, the Compuserve boys in the ALMS came up with that logo. So killer and a proper logo for the Vette!

The GTR is only fast until the transmission breaks. Which occurs on a weekly basis.

It most certainly is a very strong tranny. Only problem with the GTR is that when you own one you can't turn your VDC off unless you want to risk voiding your warranty and that is how they put up the times on the Ring. Still a great car, but they should really remove letting a owner be able to do that as a normal part of the car unless they want to stand behind their product all the way.
