BTW Kevin, The Cadillac LMP car was never branded a Corvette, nor ever intended to be branded anything but a Caddy. It also used a Northstar-like DOHC motor (a twin-turbo version of the Aurora IRL motor), no Chevy engine in there. It's too bad Caddy never got the reliability together on that car, it was fast as **** when it was running.
I thought it was a chevy for a bit before being switched to a caddy? either way it was still pretty cool
