You could if our choice of VWAG engines didn't blow here in NA. There isn't a Japanese or German car sold here that doesn't have a kickass diesel engine option available in Europe or the UK. We won't see diesels sold here en masse until the EPA and uber-myopic CARB view CO2 as a more threatening emission than all the others combined. Once you go diesel, it's hard to go back to a gasser. -mt > diesel engine in my A6?

I would like to see Porsche run a factory GT2 team along side the LMP2 cars. and once they get the rumoured 928 going i want to see a factory GT1 team to take out those corvettes/astons. (what makes a car gt1 or gt2, displacement?) the Penske Porsches are running next years.

Hehe, not trying to push anyone's buttons, but it's endurance racing... I know that an Aston was leading up unit 4 hours b4 the end but they got that lead when the vette had problems of its own in the pits... Also, hats off to Audi, a truly sublime demonstration of technical prowess. Where’s the headline about the Corvette finishing 4th overall?

I expecter the R10 to win overall. I was dissapointed the Aston dropped out so close to the end. and being a Porsche guy, it was hard to see the 911 lose because of a broken gear shifter...all and all and awsome race.
