I was going to post the pictures here but they seem to be copyrith

boht cars look sick I hope they are turning good times

only then will a wing of that size make a difference...

Is it time for Porsche to get worried yet?

porsche's better get worried

I don't think they compete against Porsche, do they?. If they do, thats gay. A tube frame car (rx-8) against a unibody car (porsche) is no contest.

I see they do run together. Grand Am better have some good rules in place, otherwise their series will turn into a joke. I can't believe they're going to have ground up race cars competing against modified production cars.

the rx-8 its not the only tube frame car in the class, corvettes, gto, infiniti g35c.

any one knows the times they put down?

I don't remember tube frame cars being in the series last year. Though I don't pay much attention to grand am, I think it's a pretty crappy series, for reasons like this.

Sweeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well, its cheper to built a tube chasis that can be use for several cars than to develop a production base chasis, porche has a lot of years of development making it hard for others to get up to speed, frankly most people are tire of the porche parade

I think right now gram am is one of the best road race series in the world

You must not have seens ALMS or Speed World Challenge. The fact that a car company can't instantly jump into Grand Am and clean up all the Porsche's isn't a good reason, IMO, to allow them to build a road course Nascar to compete.

I'd be more impressed to see the Renesis engine in a real 'race car'.

:-/

:(

is it carbon fiber

imagine your mazda and to be competitive in gram am you have to develop a car for 10 years and at a very hi price, porche has been in continue development none stop for 30 years with the 911.

I ask you the same question dit you see alms and gram am because boht chage the rules in gt and gt2?

can alms live with 3 to 4 cars in a class?

your right about speed world challenge they have great racing, but what works for one racing series is not necesarily what works for another.

then why porche doest develop a tube frame since corvette, mazda, infiniti, pontiac, and ford ( theres also rumor of a ferrari) are doing it?

yes made by Downing Atlanta :rock:

whts up guys sorry i have taken so long to make a post. i havent stoped working since after the Grand Am test day at homestead.i will post some pics soon.but as for the speedsource Rx-8 and the goldin bros Rx-8 both cars are extremley fast and were posting really fast times.i belive the time were in the 1:20s range and the GTO and Porsches were just a tad bit faster.

But right from the get go sat morning as we unloaded the trailers all the guys from Team TRG GTO-R came over and checked out both goldin bros car and speedsource car. and rumor has it tht there affraid of the Rx-8s winning next year.but thts the info for now.oh one more thing for those of you tht saw the speedsource 8 mazdaspeed body. The Goldin Bros. 8 will also be running tht body in the 24 @ daytona on 06.

hell yeah! hey downing atlanta's fenders are excellent! anyone else notice the resemblance to the fenders on that new blue mazdaspeed? great minds think alike or flattery?

starmazda series http://www.starmazda.com/

Check out the Star Mazda series. They are open wheel racers with Renesis engines.

hey guys, posted this elsewhere but thought I'd throw it up again, these are better shots of the GT series car coming out, notice the piece of sheemetal wrapped around the exhaust area so the plastice won't melt lol p.s. I don't care if this is a repost, I will never get sick of looking at those fat arse back fenders...sigh...soooo...shweet :) (to me anyways)
