Default they just upset the one thing the car had goin for it..chassis dynamics!

BUT...some of that V8 oomph would be cool in that car...is that gonna be relased or is that like a one off like the V8 S4 Cosworth?

Default The 300 toyota power plant has Turbo kits for it...

...so I doubt they shoe-horned a 430 in their. I bet it's just a turbo-charged 300.

BUT, watch out, the old SC300 w/ turbo kits put down some serious HP.

Then again, after seeing the other pics, it seems they did put the 8 cylindar in there.
