GTA spotting?

tuesday, april 8, mid afternoon heading north on Highway 1 in Santa Cruz on an open car trailer.

i came up from behind, thought it was a nice red stepnose race car at first, and then thought i saw a "Giulia Sprint GTA" badge on the deck lid. got so excited i forgot to slow down for a second look.

car was red (duh), number 20.

anyone know of this car? is it a GTA?

There was a red GTA with number 20 at the LSR/HMSA race Tuesday. I believe it was one of the Mozart cars.

Yes, that was Heather's car... I looked back through my Laguna pics and confirmed that the #20 was hers. I am guessing since they had Ashley's GTA down here as well, that they ran out of room in the transporter.

GTAm Rep wheels

Basically there are no wheels available locally for the GTAm, unless you import it from overseas. But the good part is here you can ask your machine shop to do anything you like at a very reasonable price. That is what I have done to my GTAm Rep, the first set I made was originally a set of 4x4 wheels with 5 x 139.5mm bolt pattern. This set was made out of locally manufactured van wheels with 4 x 113.4mm bolt pattern re-drilled to the A-R 4 x 108mm pattern.
