You could build a pretty nice Porsche for that amount. Chevy must want the win to tout the whole new line of track ready cars they are marketing? Too bad you cant counter the Chevies with a well developed GTR.

I agree, so many big manufacturers have bent and twisted the spirit of the rules and made "homologation specials" over the years just to make a given race's requirements it just seems moot to make an issue over it. Simple solution is boost the minimum production figures up from the 500, which many big manufacturers could easily eat if the sales don't match, to a few thousand.
