Brad, its not the car that misclassed, its just Ian. Perhaps he needs
to be put
on the stock class exclusion list! ;-)
In seriousness though, this data makes me wonder about
the validity of the 83 mph speed claim of the GT3.
I have yet to see how how this number was obtained.
I'm very courious as to where this number came from.
