It's easy to beat them because their car is 50 year old tech being propped up by all the sanctioning bodies in an effort to keep them relevant

If Ford wants to run a non-production based class, they can jump to LMP1 or LMP2.

At both the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring, the GT and the Vette finished on the same lap.

And Chevy is leading the manufacturer standings in GTLM.

And beat them in the manufacturer standings in GTLM in 2016.

Ford prolly won't do well at Lemans this year.  From last year BOP's they accumulated by the the last races on the Gt's they get a bunch of weight added and reduced power from end of the Season BOP's the GT had to run while the competitors get extra power and some light weighting.  The v6's from Ford were just to dominate and all the complaining from GM, Ferrari and such will make for uncompetitive GT's due to Negative boost and having to carry around extra weight just to slow them down.  Can't blame the competitors from complaining throughout last year and this year on the speed of the Ford's as they are stuck with the lazy performance that push rods offer and really can't compete with a V6 ford.

Yup....when gaygrabs10dicks is right....hes right

They are hit with some substantial bop this year.  They are slow and will be slow cause of it.  If they do pull a win at lemans for some odd reason it will just go show how horrible performing the vettes are due to how bad the gt's are neutered.  The GT should be bring up the back of the pack cause of the sanctions put on the v6 ford

One really has to wonder what the big shots at GM are doing/thinking? http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2017/06/14/gm-facing-class-action-lawsuit-c7-corvette-z06s-cooling-issues/

I mean, how long have these issues been going on, (and they are numerous) with their cars and trucks, and instead of trying to improve on them, they continue down the same path.

If I didn't know better, I'd say someone is purposely trying to run the company into the ground so they can either declare bankruptcy or be bought out.

Or, are they really that incompetent/inept that they think, no matter what garbage they put out there, that the idiots will continue to support and purchase from them? 

It's mind boggling.
