That, and the requirement to run 16" rims (and hence small brakes) were the 2 nails in the coffin for GC8's. The other thing was not homologated weight, but the weight of the road car (ie; complete trimmed heavy shit road going car with spare wheel and all) + cage + spare wheel weight...(again??? 2 x spare wheels weight, WTF?) Meaning GC8's had to run ballast (not that anyone ever did and they never nailed anyone on it)

I've started prepping a '05 shell, would really like to run it as a 2.5 litre/GTP-S02 twinscroll but that might be pushing my luck?
