Serious question.

Could my GT6 haul a trailer and racer?

2L straight 6 with a 5 Speed trans and a 4:11 diff?

Possible, I suppose, but iffy at best. There was a print ad for the home
market Vitesse, showing it towing a small formula car on a trailer. At the
very least, though, your GT would need to be pulling no more than a
lightweight trailer with a lightweight racer. Then, of course, you'd need to
figure out how a secure hitch would be mounted to the GT6, and you might need
to look at cooling, electrical and some drivetrain mechanical upgrades.
