the fast z cars had single exhaust! the picture is misleading but i saw them take one off and it really was just one long pipe with a little bullet muffler.

Looks awesome. Why are your pics all small with a ton of white space around them though?

yeah, i scanned them and posted in a hurry. pics are like 2 weeks old and i didnt take the time to fix them. sorry, you can view the big ones in the members rides section.the vir 400 happens every year. you can view the schedule for the whole season if you google "grand american road racing association" or "rolex sports car series".the grand am cup had a mix of carsporsche 911, nissan 350z, mazda rx8, lexus is300, ford mustang, mini cooper, bmw m3, and some wierd ones like an acura nsx and a 97 supra(non turbo)

the rolex series 911's, maseratis(last year there were ferraris), m3's, corvettes, trans ams, and prototypes.the prototypes had engines like pontiac v8's, chevy v8's, porsche flat 6's, bmw v8's and straight 6's, toyota/lexus v8's, ford v8's, etc.they were all naturally aspirated.

the level of preperation to make bmw and porsche six cyl motors hang with big v8's produces an awesome sound.
