I checked my PVR schedule grid for a repeat and they’re all different episodes for the next 2-weeks.

I watched it last night. Man, I was seriously cheering on Team Corvette to kick some European butt (again). Were it not for the roasted rotor of #3 car and the Porsche that spun out and hit the #4 car, tearing up his rear suspension, the 'Vettes would have handily won the 12 Sebring.. again. I love seeing American iron beating the crap out of the competition. And one other thing. Do you ever notice how terrible the Aston-Martins and the Ferrari's engine sound? Nothing sound like an American V8 and the small block Chevy just keeps kicking butt.

I haven't heard a C6R in person but I have heard C5R's - and I totally didn't like their sound.... really blatty, flappy and sloppy-sounding... blatty is the best word to describe it... everytime one would drive by, you knew it was a C5R because it sounded so much different than the other cars. I wonder if the C6R sounds much different?? Dan didn't you take pics of one? What did you think about the sound?? I haven't heard the Ferrari's or Aston-Martins in real life either, so I can't comment on those either.
