GTU: The counterpart to GTO, for cars under 4 liters.
With a X-class format, guys like BMW can compete for top-GT honors, but everybody will know that these cars have very little in common with the street cars. The O and U classes would be a real test for roadcars.

As usual, I like your idea a lot Speedy. Only change I'd consider is to make the GTO limit more like 5.0 or 5.5L. Of course, with the current trend of smaller, forced induction motors that would thin out the top class pretty good.
If Sebring kicked of an IMSA season with those three classes as the only cars on track, I'd be very enthused so long as a goodly number of teams had picked up the challenge.
