I was too young to see the Can Am cars in their day, so the GTP cars were
the next best thing. I did manage to see them in 1991 and 1992 at Daytona.
Great fun.
There's still nothing better looking than the Jaguar GTP cars from the mid
to late 80s (before Bud sponsorship!).
Just my .02

And am I the last man alive who thinks that real "sports cars" should be
open-cockpit cars -- with two seats and enough ground clearance that they
could (at least theoretically) be driven on public roads?
