Lets not forget how anti-enthusiast GM is...
GM isnt backing the GTO in Drifting or GA
GM isnt backing the CTS-V in Speed GT
GM isnt backing the Cobalt SS in GA
GM isnt backing Pontiac Prototypes
GM isnt backing C6-R's in ALMS

I do believe GM is still backing the CTS-V in Speed GT. After all the work (ahem, rule "bending") they went through to make sure the CTS-V won the championship, I sure hope they wouldn't give up.

GM definately is backing the C6-R, but don't be mistaken, it's not a GM factory effort. It's a works effort, meaning pratt&miller (team owners) get GM's support. Doug Fehan (last name?) works for GM and is the main man with the C6-R program.

The championship results changed? I missed that.
