Sebring really punishes cars, that's for sure. Peugeots always seem fast initially but tend to run into reliability issues on the longer races. If I'm not mistaken, the Acura got the pole position didn't it?

Ended up being a close race, had the Peugeot not ran into the tire problems with three or four hours to go I believe the outcome would have been in their favor. I bet the Acuras are going to tough on the tight smoother tracks, those cars look mean on the cornering.
On a side note I was talking with the fellow I work for and although I knew he dabbled in SCCA a few years back I didn't know that he has actually ran both the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 hour race at Daytona running a Porsche 911 and finishing both races. He was telling me the turn coming onto the straight at Sebring is very brutal, off camber, fast and extremely bumpy with a concrete wall that fills up the windshield in a hurry.

I don't know if I've posted this video before, but this is my dream vehicle. The van that I currently have is getting old and I hit my head on the roof every time I enter or exit it because I have grown since I purchased it. At around $100,000 Canadian it's a steep price for independence, but independence doesn't have a price tag. Agreed, that is the best value on the market. Cool car even for us walkies. If I lost my "walkiness" I think this would be my first DIY project. Oh, that could be trouble!  My projects usually don't go off without a hitch, and I don't normally hurl them down the interstate at 70 mph, but screw it, I'd have to try it, at least once!  I can see it now in my mind .......[harp music, fade out to pic]  Oh!  I don't like what I saw in my mind's eye.

Beautiful lines. I really like it which automatically means it will cost much more than I can afford.

Not for two to three years, as it is scheduled to enter production in late 2011. Otherwise, an intriguing choice. If I had the money, and if I'd fit in it, I'd consider the Tesla Roadster, and now this one scores higher on the WAF. Decisions, decisions.
