Drivers: For any of you that might have written off the PONTIAC, Think again. I know for a fact that the PONTIAC has been a secret weapon by many of the top drivers on HAWAII. Mark Carney otherwise known as Smokkinu2 of the Smokkinu Super Team is rewriting the record book here at the IVGA and turning in some unreal FASTLAP with the Pontiac. Check out these 1st attempts by a super human driver. Notice the ranking with only one day of effort is either 1st or Top3... execpt for dega... FYI!!!! Don Wilshe, IVGA PS. I am sure the other members of the SMOKKINU SUPER TEAM join me in congradulating Mark Carney. That would be Dave G, Josh H, Kent D, Robert Platt and Jure Z.. Home of FASTLAP, FASTRACE, BEATBILL and the INL97..

So from what I see that tells me what i have believed all along that there is really no diference in each type of car.It comes down to setup and line and that is it. Robert "GT86" Platts PS As for dega it comes down to how much gas you can waste before you start your lap and how good you can cut :)

It is designed such that no model has an outright advantage. However, the aerodynamic models for the three body styles are different. ---Jim

Sup, there is slight diffference in cars, contrary to popular belief. Thy Pontiac's are thy best, and thy Ford's aren't quite as good overall, not saying Ford's suck everywhere or saying that Ponntiacs are god's gift to NASCAR 2 either, that's Mark :)
No thats running the same track everyday for 9 hours or more .I can post the sametimes that I have up now in either 3 makes.
