Default American Le Mans Series begins... Where is Lexus????
Today began the 2006 American Le Mans Series with the 12 hours of Sebring. One question though... Where is Lexus? The IS350 was supposed to be running in the GT2 class which is currently being dominated by the new Ferrari F430GT. Any of you Lexus/Toyota insiders know what's up??? I've been watching it all day and haven't heard CRAP!

and like i've asked before, do you really think the IS350 can compete with a Ferrari F430?? Even if the 3.5 is good for 450hp, I'd assume the Ferrari has a sportier chassis to begin with...

GT2 Class. Same class as the Porsche, Panoz, and Ferrari.
