no. I suppose you are right. I actually wondered if there was anything SE3P on that car. I mean, it likely has a tube frame.

GT Class

The Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series GT division is home to production-based race cars that are similar in appearance to the latest high-performance sports cars and coupes that you see on the street everyday. Underneath their skin, however, GT race cars are all business and use some of the same technology found in the more exotic Daytona Prototype class.
But how did you know? (if you dont mind me asking.)

If it looks like an 8, it must be an 8.

If it looks like an 8 and drives like an 8 and sounds like an 8 it must be an 8...

So it's not an 8 then cause I don't think that sounds anything like, or performs like an 8 does.

It's a Super 8! ..on steroids!

It's actually pretty cheap for a fully prepped and ready to go race car. Racing ain't cheap

I had some friends that were at the Rolex Daytona 24 over the weekend, they said that the Rx8s were the loudest, coolest sounding cars at the track. Everyone could tell as soon as they lit one of those things up, no matter where you were on the track you could hear them start up
