You know, I'd actually be pretty interested in a self driving equivalent of LMP1.

Edit: my statement stands, but my mind just caught up with what you said. I have no clue what Shelby Hertz actually is, and my google fu is failing for the moment.

2nd Edit: ah. now I see.

    The deal with the Hertz Corporation to offer ~1,000 G.T. 350s for rental that, after their rental-car lives were finished, were returned to Ford, refurbished, and sold to the public as "G.T. 350H" models.[11] Most Hertz cars were black with gold LeMans stripes and rocker panel stripes, although a few were white with blue stripes. The first 85 Hertz cars were available with four-speed manual transmissions and Hertz advertised them as "Rent-a-Racer" cars.[12] During rental, these cars were sometimes used as production class cars at SCCA events, and were rumored to have been returned to Hertz with evidence of roll bars being welded in.[12]
