I think it is pretty good looking. Reminds me of a DTM a bit though....

Wanna bet that we won't see the Caddy in Europe? (Hint - DON'T take that bet!)

More like, GM doesn't want the GT3 Vette to take sales away from the Cadillac in the US, and it would be cool if they sold a couple in Europe.

Depends on if there will be a service available. I donĀ“t see this coming.
Selling a couple of cars is one thing - providing spares and technicians at every race is another |

Can't say I'm a fan. Looks very plastic, almost like it is a display mock up. I have little idea about the actual road car (and excuse me if I am incorrect) but this race car doesn't look like it shares much of anything with a road car.

Hmm, I didn't know what the road car looked like either. The first GT3 since the Nissan where I personally feel the road car is better looking than its racing offspring, though that's not saying much.

It's very (pre DTM link-up) Super-GT-ish.

It's ok from the front, and I like it from the back, but I do find the sides to be pretty generic. It will be interesting to see it in livery though.
I'm really going to miss the V8, I can't imagine that V6TT being something that does much for me since I've never heard any other 4 or 6 cylinder turbo motor that has done anything for me. Will be a shame that the closest thing we have to a V8 rumble on the grid will be the goofy Z4 things. Not sure about the whole Callaway vs Cadillac thing. On one hand, I'd like to see the Cadillac in the hands of a strong team in Europe, but I'm also really hoping the Callaway C7 is a success and I don't want the Cadillac to step on its toes. |

Sure, I would rather see a Prius racing in BES than this, Minimum the've got the R & D appeal, with the hybrid stuff.
Lame, A Cadillac instead of a Corvette. |

the production of callaway corvette Z06 GT3 first and second generation was officially licensed by GM; but if GM is going to enter in the european GT3 market with the cadillac is very unlikely that callaway will receive again the license to produce the C7 GT3. Anyway GM can't prevent them to build it however... afterall the reiter/sareni camaro GT is a private project without any GM involvment
