Agree, we were there and saw the obvious speed differential, whenever a Ford GT was on the tail of an M8 going back out onto the banking you could see them just blow by the M8.
Question for those with more racing knowledge than myself. We were at a Grand Am race a few years ago at Watkins Glen and we were watching them (Grand AM officials) do actual full throttle dyno runs testing on the Daytona Prototypes. Does IMSA do dyno runs to test actual race trim horsepower?
