I do remember that Lola, to make it Corvette like, had to compromise, what they would have preferred to do.
That alone showed how much Detroit wanted at that time, for the GTP car to represent something from Detroit; ditto for the Front Engined Ford GTP.

Of course back then Buick, Chevy and Ford were all playing around with blown engines, and this was the other place, besides Indy, to get real info.

The Corvette GTP and the Lew Price Corvette GTP both had Lola chassis plates on them...
