A postscript to the 2000 GT racers. Talked with Rem this morning and he said that the biggest problem was with the engine. The stroke was just too long and they couldn't get any power out of the motor despite a major rework of the valve train. It had a DOHC arrangement but, in the final analysis, he said they couldn't compete with the 911 Porsche.
They lightened them with aluminum hoods/deck lid and modified about everything on the car including the gearbox, brakes and suspension. The project head was an engineer from Japan whose name Phil could not remember.
