Okay, round 2 of whats this car.

It is stockish to make it easier. There are plenty of clues and the reflection of me taking the photo is not a clue. Hey, I was wearing me SAE hat that day

I feel stupid asking, but this is a joke, right? What "stockish" car rides on huge Goodyears mounted to what look like center-locking wheels? Not to mention that the photo makes it look like this car is sitting A LOT lower than most cars found on a dealer's lot.

In round 1 it was a carbon fiber tub so it was asked to be a little more stockish next time. Okay, it's not open wheel this time, so that is stockish, yes?

The wheelwell flare out at the back suggests Porsche 944 or FC RX-7.

Can't help on make or model, but I'll bet that's some sort of SCCA GT tubeframe car.

Of course, this is coming from the guy that almost suggested the Dallara tub was a Barber School car..

Good guess and darn close, but no pie

Hint: the front is to the left in the photo.

I would say Viper but I've never seen a gray Viper, racing or otherwise. That wide-ass wheel well opening is what makes it look like the Viper GTS-R. But the wheel offset is wrong.

We have a winner. I was just looking for just a name but a photo is worth a thousand words when it is the exact car. How did you find it?

It is a RS chassis Vet body Trans-am/GT1

VERY GOOD.

Shall we play again?

What's the deal with the reflection? Did I miss something?

"Stockish?" "Lots of clues?" Seriously?

It's a non-production fender with a non-production hood, a non-production wheel with non-production center-locking hubs... Custom splitter, slicks... I'm shocked as cheesecake anyone got this. It could have been darn-near anything.
