Interesting comparison but since they weren't all running on track at the same time in the same conditions the results aren't really a true representation of the gap between the series.
Tho looking at the grid I wonder what kind of times that Speed GT Mustang would run with a proper set of racing slicks.

It's funny how US open wheel has gone backwards...
Gil Deferran's 2001 pole time = 1:05.347
Either way, thanks for posting... it's awesome that the Atlantics is still faster than those POS Indy Light cars.

NO WAY is it on pace with GT2, add 10 secs to that.
I based that on last weeks Watkins Glen (short course) times:
NASCAR pole lap time = 1:11
Grand Am DP pole lap time = 1:05
That's a 10% difference.

I meant to say 2000.
But MAN... the sound of that engine and the look of those cars 9 years ago was damn sexy!
