Like you said, they'd need to be carbon chassis'd. Maybe the Ford GT could get close but that'd probably need serious work too. It wouldn't be worth it financially imo.

Agree, to have a spec chassis is quite dumb, but actually don't think dallara/ligier/oreca lmp2 chassis are so different each other following the same mandatory technical regs, so guess it's not a big issue, it's all about money saving.
Any info about a gt500/dtm car price ?
