I know.. That was close! I just got done watching it. If Johnny O would've had one more lap, he would've gotten him.

Viper GTS-Rs are too old. They are only competitive in racing across the pond like Belcar. The fastest class has Corvettes and Vipers like the LMGT1 class, but with steel rotors and other changes.

Konrad's S7Rs qualified at Sebring just three seconds faster than the pole-sitting Panoz Esperante. One finished 19th overall and one failed to finish.

S7Rs have one two professional races this year, one in FIA GT and one in the Le Mans Series.

Acemco focused on Le Mans this year and finished 6th in class and 11th overall. They became the first Saleen S7R team to finish the 24 Hours of Le Mans (previous teams raced in 2001, 2002, and 2003).

Oreca built dozens of Viper GTS-Rs and now races an S7R in the LMS.
