SCCA will put production cars on track with GT1 cars on test days and theres a real size difference. i wonder if a lotus 7 can even be seen from most GT1 cars just off the side left or right.

I've been silent on this until now, mainly because I wasn't there and I've never driven the 12-Hour course at Sebring. The above statement is incorrect, however. The test day is run by the track, not SCCA, and they are the ones that decide the mix of cars on the track.
I will use what influence I have with Road Atlanta to add another group for the ARRC test day in 2007. We had SPO (GT-1) cars out there with Miatas and about sixty cars on the track. It may require the sessions to be cut to 20 minutes to fit everyone in, but that time will be better spent if you're not looking out for traffic at EVERY corner.
You want something scary? In SOPAC they run HP with GT-1 because they have such small car counts.
