Here are a few of my pics from the Grand Am Rolex GT race this weekend. The Playboy 350Z is still under powered compared to the Porsches & tube frame Madza RX8. They are making progress and it will be up front soon.

do you happen to know what lap times they were pulling by any chance....

for instance my fastest time in my 240 is a 2:28, LOTS of room for improvement.

i am guessing these guys are into th 2:15's tho....

The 350Z GT quickest time I saw was a 1:59. The race leaders were doing 1:55's! My buddy has run a 2:14 in his ITS 240Z!

all at VIR yes

my car doesnt compare in mods or my track time isnt even close either considering i only have 4 full events at VIR and only 230whp and a very basic suspension setup....
