Thought new rules for Formula D were that you couldn't use an engine swap that wasn't in your vehicles Manufacture list?


And didn't realize Gary Kubo worked on other teams cars besides Chris Rado's. Cool beans. He builds some monsters.

My favorite driver. Get goose bumps every time the GReddy FR-S is getting set to run. It is definitely well balanced. They run Anti-lag on it to maintain that turbo spool, sounds like a nasty beast...

Am I the only one that thinks they're shooting for 400hp more than is necessary?

Yea, you are the only one. FD has gone bonkers when it comes to HP V8's. Just about every V8 in FD is pushing 700-1000+whp.

Just seems ludicrously unneccesarty. Reminds me of the joke: What do a 600hp Viper and a 1000hp Viper have in common?

Answer: 1/4 mile timeslip.

More power to 'em, I guess. Carry on, fellas: this will be interesting for sure!

Thanks for sharing!

Any chance for a similar build thread on the Pro-Am car?

Kinda cool you guys got World Racing to help you guys out with the build. I thought they moved off from doing scion work to getting Chris's new time attack car up and running.
