      Totally agree. However, the "problem" with this car is that it is a Toyota motor and not an American motor. Look at how much stink people had over Toyota joining NASCAR. Sure you'd have some people talk about rules and what not but the real issue was that Toyota is a Japanese company and this car and NASCAR is American. Some people are just bigoted.

      Think he would be getting as much crap if he had installed a 1100 hp turbo 3.8 V6?

      I love this car and love seeing the swap. I still just do not like the exhaust.

      Thanks! A lot of people also don't realize that cross-breeding in the American Automotive Industry is pretty common! Did some of you know that the engine in the infamous Ford Taurus SHO was a reliable Japanese motor from Yamaha?
