The 86 will have to rely on its low CoG and power to weight. It will be interesting to see the team squeeze 300rwhp out of this in N/A trim. Lots of timing, race fuel, etc, are going to be part of the equation I'm sure.

It's going to be Supercharged by TRD.

It is, I watched their Scion tC take championships. They stream on the net as well.

I posted before seeing the other pics. But I knew that from the SEMA threads.

I presume that is how i'm going to have to see it. Is it just on the SCCA's official site?

If memory serves me correctly, I believe it was on the Speed Channel.

Oh wow, that's surprising. I really need to get a DVR. Hm, Christmas is coming up. . .

WC aired on NBC Sports Network (formally Versus), the new home for Formula One in 2013.

SPEED will be transforming into FOX Sports One at the end of the year and will become a general sports network like ESPN and NBC Sports.

Scion Racing will also be competing in Grand Am's Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Street Tuner (ST) division in 2013, so there will be plenty of opportunity to see the FR-S race wheel-to-wheel next season.

I'm moving today and having cable setup and will have a DVR system for the first time too. Looking forward to it, since I have no time to watch TV any other time.

What I find funny though is there are going to be a lot of people out there that will or don't know anything about their very successful tC programs and only see the FR-S as the car that brought Scion to the motorsports arena...tisk tisk.

Maybe not,..the driver of the FRS in GTS class is Robert Stout, same driver who won the touring class in the Tc in 010. Usually they mention your past accolades and team if your a front runner,....lets hope he is.

Unfortunately the internet doesn't have an IQ filter though.

Guarantee you the engine bay is stock. The exhaust is stock which is a dead giveaway that the car is probably mechanically unchanged.
