Also, I don't think it would be very fun getting left in the dust by all those 700-1000hp cars! But they will be fun to watch nevertheless.
Can't be the same as running in this type of format: with another car next to you and 75 other guys looking on with no trepedation whatsover about getting pulled over by the police and put in jail.

Some of those cars are extremely traction limited (not the Porsche's/GTR's). I wonder if our (much) lower HP 335's with LSD's could take the initial lead and hang for a while. Surely not the entire run, but it would be fun to see for how long. Maybe I'll grab one of those Go Pro's and ask a couple of them to run me.
