) with a bias towards the heavier metal-on-metal cars. The Lambo Diablos & the Ford GT90 could be "bruisers", although the Diablo's side mirrors tend to 'catch' on high track sidewalls.

Technically, the GT-90 is a futuristic vehicle. It is more future than racer.

OK, the "Nightstalker Garage" made it through the storms. Only 1 car correct? These are the possables I've run time shots on. I think I'll let the car with the most interest run in this LaMans shindig. And yea, that Cobra already has a # on it. Although it has been repaired and ready for another race. Oh yea, 14 cars ran time shots.

He can run the 540k, with a racing paint job.

The Forklift is the slowest but it don't qualify.

WOW, a Mercedes 540k is ok but not a Maxda RX-7?
(I don't recall seeing pics of Nazi Staff cars racing at LeMans )

Yeah, I dunno about a 540k being a LeMans car but if Smitty can mod it up and paint it to look like one, im all for it!
