viper exhausts go crazy
so yeah, Honda decided to give the HSV a proper sendoff in 2013, as this would be the last time GT500 would use their V8s
Honda moved the radiator from the sides back to the front, and directed the exhausts out the sides, making the exhaust not as high pitched and screaming as the past 3 years but optimized the airflow going around the car and its rear diffuser assembly
This particular model was run by ARTA, which along with their CR-Z took a double victory at Sugo
Unfortunately the ARTA HSV would finish 11th in the standings, marking their last race win in GT500 until 2017
