"So here we are at the end of the day, positioning millions of dollars&amp;#039; worth of race and production hardware on the exit of MMP&amp;#039;s Turn 14 for our final photo shoot. As we ponder the machines, now strangely silent and casting long shadows in the late afternoon sun, what exactly have we learned?   Well, we live in an age where several of the assembly-line sports cars here must actually be detuned to be suitable for competition\u2014as least as far as engine output goes. We&amp;#039;ve seen how gecko-like mechanical grip, light weight and hand-of-God aero downforce can produce mind-altering differences in lap times, even if straightaway speeds are similar. Based purely on lap times, the and are closest to their respective racing counterparts, but all of the road cars, impressively, felt at home on the tough Miller track.   And we&amp;#039;ve witnessed just how hard the race teams and drivers fight for every 10th of a second out there. The sweat, toil and unflinching dedication of everyone involved is palpable...and this was only a practice day. Fielding a team in motor\u00ADsports&amp;#039; big leagues isn&amp;#039;t just a race-on-the-weekend proposition; it&amp;#039;s about total commitment and sacrifice. The stopwatch never lies, nor sleeps, so it follows that the racing community is a little short on shut-eye too. So when we queue up Speed Channel and take in the next round of the ALMS series from the comfort of our La-Z-Boy recliners, cool drink in hand, we&amp;#039;ll have an especially deep appreciation of just what goes on.
