Looks like 4 S550s entered in GTS, Jade Buford appears 3rd quick in qualify at present about 1.5 tenths off the leader's Cayman. Not sure how badly gagged PWC has the Mustangs and Camaros, haven't yet found their tech documents.
 
Wow the Mustang weights a lot relative to the other cars.

Yes, the McLaren is the only one heavier at 1615 kgs. It's on page 2. But given its weight you'd think they'd maybe give it a little bigger restrictor? They can't be getting much more than 400 hp with a 57 mm restrictor would they?
 
I would guess 430 rwhp, I believe the engine is a 5.2L, with a 5.0L Coyote intake, and OEM manifolds. Based on top speed and weight, and knowning what my car was doing last year.

The N.A. is for the tubro cars, they have to run to a boost number I believe.

Wasn't a great race for 'stangville, but at least the Camaro won, I like to see the pony cars do well against the high buck euro stuff so if a Mustang doesn't win I'm pulling for the Camaro. Seems odd to me that they give the Camaro a bigger restrictor and less weight than the Mustang, like to know the reasoning behind that. I would think the smaller restrictor is going to hurt the Mustang more than it would the Camaro since the Coyote makes power at higher revs and therefore needs to flow more air?

PWC's GT class is looking bad, only 11 cars entered and 3 out on the first lap.
