Cadete should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Saleen, the Maserati was different than the Murcielago or S7. It had a distint long tail and was overall designed from an Enzo as a racing car, then homologated as a road car to receive even more upgrades as a racing car. The fact that we saw the racing version of it even before anyone knew how the road version would be says a lot about the philosofy behind the car.

As for the changes in the GTS regulations, keep in mind that they are probably also to get the ACO rules closer to the joint ACO/FIA rules that will enter in 2006, if I'm not wrong.
What can be bad is if every single year they change the rules to keep the pace at exactly the same. In my view, they will adopt the joint regs in 2006, then keep them for a long time, and after if speeds get too much out of hand, then they will be revised, again in a way that will keep them around for a long time.
