This March 83G competed in the IMSA GTP Class powered by a 360-cubic-inch Chevrolet engine developing 720 horsepower. It is fitted with full ground effects and the 2200 pound car was clocked at 215 mph at Daytona. The car has a 31-gallon fuel capacity and can travel from zero-to-sixty mph in 3 seconds. The body consists of 5 pieces of Kevlar and carbon fibre, while the chassis is aluminum honeycomb monocoque.

Kenper Miller and David Cowart, the current owners, raced 'The Red Lobster' in the Camel GT Series from July 1983 through March 1985. During this span, the car had 11 top five finishes and 15 times it finished in the top 10.
