Saw this a couple of weeks ago and figured someone local would have posted it but I haven't seen it yet. May interest some of you.

From the color scheme this car looks like the Swift Technologies race car but I can't verify that. If it IS the SWT car it really is the car it is a little slice of history.

its not a SRT car, it's the former Team Lexus track car. They raced the GS before they built a few IS300 track cars and ultimately an IS350 which never got to race under their banner (Lexus Corp pulled their funding, car was sold and raced by a privateer group).
