arakis has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
how do you score 2009 ALMS RACE Cars

Here is my Opinion what is yours

Scoring 1-5
5 being best
1 poorest

Speed (average on all tracks/they raced)

BMW M3 GT2 4
Corvette C6.R 5
Ferrari 430 GT2 3.5
Porsche 997 Gt3 rsr 4

Endurance

BMW M3 GT2 1
Corvette C6.R 4 (because it wasn't tested on any enduro track)
Ferrari 430 GT2 5
Porsche 997 gt3 rsr 4

I am really impressed with corvette's speed and i am sure their reliability is as impressive great job by P&M

Ford GT40 GT2 1
Panoz Esperante LMGT 2
Jaguar XKR GT2 1
Dodge Viper CC GT2 2
Spyker GT2 2 (they did a few sebring races in the past years... I give the current Spyker team/car a 2)
Aston Martin V8 2

Do you mean the "to finish first, first you must finish" quote? I get the jist anyway.

Spyker deserve a 3 or a 4 this year purely for how far they have leaped in just this past year. They've ditched their "to hell with, we'll floor it 'till it breaks" phylosiphy and they've started notching up results in an increasingly competitive GT2 class with their newer, my considered approach. When they started in 2002 they were competing with Morgan. In 2009, they were mixing it with the factory backed Porsches and Ferraris. No other team has started so far back and made up so much ground.

Id give the Ford a 2 as it has a habit of loosing its rear deck.

No Riley Corvette? That thing's easily a 3-4.

Do you accept good, good, and very good for all the cars?
