The Vettes aren't as quick as the Ford's, but at least they have solid reliability (for 1 car at least) and good pit stops so they're able to compete in that regard. Hope they have better luck in Long Beach as I'll be at that race cheering for them.
1) The Z4 GTE/GTLM was also developed from the GT3 variant of the same car.

2) The Vettes are demonstrably just as quick as the Ford GT; look at the lap data.
