I would love to see something similar. There was talk a few years ago that the LeMans Endurance series wanted to bring back GT3 as a catagory. The premise would be basically to only allow Bolt-On style modifications and spec'ing stock engine internals(with in some tolerance).

GT1 is basically a silhouette class, GT2 is a heavily modified factory tub, GT3 would be the next link in the chain to getting back to production cars. The problem is the expense for the teams. They would have to completely retro-engineer the way they did things since so many of the modifications that are automatic now would not be allowed any more.

I think it would be a fun series to watch. How many of you guys would like to see a base vette FRC with a cold air intake, full exhaust, and bolt on suspension running around the track on stock sized rims and tires? I think it would be a great test of the best production cars in the world.
