Who Puts A 2JZ Into An FD???

[Sport1.3]

You are smart enough to know that the GT500 class was created to let the manufactures have a field to compete with unlimited budgets. That is why 2008 GT500 class cars have superior Aero to ACO/FIA GT1 class race cars and the only thing faster around a race track than a GT500 car with closed fenders is a prototype. A tuner like RE Amemiya can't afford a 100 million a year budget on a racing sport. That is why GT300 is fought amongst high end tuner companies.

I mean.....remember my front engined NSX prototype Honda is testing? And to those that say, "we'll isn't MR better weight distribution" go read the GT500 rule book to understand.

no factory backing huh?

remember not even too long ago Toyota was using heavily modified 3sgte's instead of the 6 cylinders......they were retarded fast......then led to a custom 1 off v8 specifically made for the series....and again Domination......its insane the steps they take and or are allowed to take in that series.....but its still insanely competitive and fun to watch

That motor went in to a Front engine rear drive celica which has now become a mid engined IS-F...notice the air scoop on roof and doors.



The GTR is also running a 4.5L V8 with a F/R setup




the "current" NSX uses a longitudinal Mugen made C32 and new to the series BMW has shoehorned a V8 into a Z4



In 2008, im most happy that a TRUE 4WD car has finally won a race since the R34 dropped the RB26 and 4WD for a 3.0tt v6 with F/R.

Symmetric AWD at that.
