Not a single rule change was posted related to the Vettes. Not one. I looked for one. Shit, ten years later they're STILL making up new rules to slow down the Viper, which hasn't been allowed to win in anything in god knows how long -- and CarSport still managed their best qualifying lap time in their history of running a GTS.

I'm not saying the Vettes suck, but the fact is, GM bought their victories, plain and simple.

bought there victories? so they bought the extra weight they have to carry around? it was widely publisized.....doesn't matter though....the vette is still coming up 1-2 across the finish line. rule changes already took effect on the vettes about 3 months ago, which is why they are running 50 lbs heavier. saying GM bought thier victories does not explain why Viper cannot at least come in 3-4...
