ITT: god-tier racing cars

the fastest racing car in the world

That's cute, but not a 917....

Don't worry, have an actual race car as a palette cleanser

the McLaren sounds better though

b-but muh front engine V12

RIP Aston DBR1

You mean ... a 575

The Prodrive 550 was extremely successful. The Ferrari built 575 GTC was a bit faster, but not successful in racing at all, mostly because the repairs were too time consuming for endurance racing. The 575 GTC definitely looks great but if you want a car to actually race the Prodrives are much better, lots of people are still running them these days.

550 v 575 but wasn't there a shit tonne of changes made between the 550 and 575?

Basically anything Smokey put his hands on.

>posts a car that lost le mans
lmao

I can't remember offhand all the differences between the 550 and 575, the long block is different, I think they went from ti to steel connecting rods, the brakes are different, the suspension is a bit different, overall it's just a mild improvement just like all the Ferrari refreshes have been. The Prodrive car vs. 575 GTC is a completely different thing, the chassis is highly modified, different body, different gearbox, suspension, engine internals, everything is different from the stock cars and from eachother. Prodrive has a super successful history and knows how to make reliable and easily serviceable race cars, the most well known is probably the Mcrae Subaru. The GTC was built by Ferrari, kind of, it was actually assembled by N Tech with Ferraris support, and even though it was more powerful and seemed on paper better it was slower than the Prodrive car in pretty much every race it ever entered.

Cheater who cant compete

I wish Ferrari would've put more factory effort into their N. American GT program instead of letting the Corvettes run away with it year after year.

>ITT: god-tier racing cars
>first three cars are shit

These guys put up a hard fight but the C5-R narrowly edged them out in 2003 ALMS.

The 550 did well in ALMS. I don't think we'll see a Ferrari factory backed car really going after an American racing series anytime soon, but maybe an independent will build a good enough platform like Prodrive did.

Once again /O is wrong. The best and most successful racing car was the Mclaren Mp4 chassis.

Try again

These were unstoppable during their prime

>Formula 1 only wins formula 1

No shit fag

lol

Small company in Georgia taking on the best of BMW and (narrowly) taking the ALMS title from them. it seemed like they had what it took to win le mans since they actually qualified 2nd on the entire grid that year but nevertheless lost the race. Panoz is cool as fuck and i wish someone would dump money into them for more prototype projects.

I would like to see them return to LM

>The best and most successful racing car was the Mclaren Mp4 chassis.

I'm assuming you mean the MP4/4 since there are like 30+ different cars with "MP4" moniker in which case it's not even correct since the the MP4/4 is not even the most successful racing car in F1.

I like the Panoz LMP1, but it definitely wasn't "god-tier."

I fucking love Lancia.

>let's enter a mid engined supercar with a Ferrari engine into the WRC
>okay
