not by much. GT1 cars are silhouettes too as you call them

so how much more roadcar-based are GT3 cars?
GT3 Start as road cars off the dealer show room floor, stripped and gutted, cage installed, engine and trans pulled out taken apart, blue printed and balanced, then rebuilt with stronger parts. suppension taken off and stronger suspension put on . same with all other parts too. Most of the body parts are replaced with Carbon Fiber body parts, if they don't come that way.

So again they LOOK like road going cars, and start off that way, but rebuilt with stronger parts.

Time to get to some race shops or walk around the paddock next year and have a look.
