GT - Gran Turismo Paradise

Gran Turismo on my PlayStation, SpeedVision Le Mans coverage on the
television right beside it.

Paradise.

But then my wife came home.
And was not amused.

To get even she later began madly channel surfing while I was trying
to keep control of an overpowered Supra RZ around SSR11 in the
Tuned Car Series (which I like to call the "Abnormal Car Series").

Very distracting.

Real-life Viper GTS-R's won their division at Le Mans.  How about
that.  This year's model doesn't look quite so "Viperish", though...

It always seems to me that a race-modified stock Viper GTS, even though
it has less horsepower, actually outperforms a GTS-R.

I guess those team managers don't know that.  8-)

Better call Oreca quickly... they're wasting their money :P

Well, not actually, and maybe that's the answer. 8-)  If you can't win
a GTS-R, you can trade it in from another garage for a mere Cr35,000,
whereas it takes almost ten times that to build up a race-modded Viper
GTS.  8-)

So I guess Oreca is doing quite well on a limited budget.  8-)
