Dodge Viper Comp Coupe FIA approved?
It looks like the Viper Comp Coupe is now approved by FIA for GT3 racing?
FIA GT3 I know there has been a lot of discussions about why no Viper Comp Coupe in GT1 but here it is in GT3? What engine are they running to qualify for GT3? |

So you are telling me that they are running stock Viper Competition Coupes in FIA GT3.

Much in the same way that Pratt & Miller ran Stock C6.R's this past year, yes. Did you read the website to see how a "stock" Competition Coupe is prepared? |

The allowed Porsche type is also a real racecar and not a street version. The Venturi Heritage is nothing else than a converted Trophy car of the mid 90´s. And don´t forget the Aston.... |

It seems there is still some uncertainty out there over what constitutes GT3 exactly what did you expect? the Viper CC is a car from a single make series so they've made it fit in.

Well I guess I do not know what constitute a GT3, but it has to be homoglized any way right? So let me see if I get this right, GT1 & GT2 are street cars modified for racing and GT3 are purpose built racecars.
Were can I find the rules for GT3 I tried www.fiagt.com but I can't find any rules there. |

I don't know if there's anything else official, but that's something. In this case the key phrase from that brochure seems to be "Cup of Cups". Various manufacturers will supply some "Cup" cars to compete in a multi-make Cup series. |

Come on, you didn't really think that the C5-R, DBR9, or S7-R were just modified road cars did you? |

The Viper CC fits perfectly in the mold of the cars in GT3, I'd scarcely say one can pop down to their local dealership and drive away in a 997 GT3 Cup, 430 Challenge Stradale, or DBRS-9 either. |
