I'm with you on that. It looks more than good. Like a simpler DTM car. Looks correctly proportioned in comparison to the M6.

That thing is low and long! I'm really curious about that bump right behind the mirror. And it looks like it has a really flat rear fender flare.

It's the reflection from the mirror glass itself.

It looks longer than it really is because of the horizontal and vertical stripes.

Pretty sure the door is the size of the one on the 86 Monte Carlo I used own.

I like it!

Probably weighs a full ton less than the 86 Monte, or my 86 Firebird door.

I like the continuity that Ford and Porsche have done between WEC and IMSA so far. With the same paint livery and just about the same car numbers too. BMW did this when they did a double ILMC and ALMS in 2012. Would be cool if they kept the same livery and used the same car numbers between both series this time too.

I like the car, I don't like the livery design. Looking forward to seeing it next year!
