Ah, the McLaren that was losing to Crawford's BRZ and allegedly had an untalented driver.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Engine swap. BRZ-12C. :D

I'm thinking the complete opposite MP4-RZ. Engine swap the fa20 into the McLaren for mad low COG, yo, and make it run again but better.

Would be sick. Too bad I don't have 50k laying around. I wonder what the reserve is.

Would be hilarious if Crawford did it.

Also, I think the McLaren could benefit from BRZ tires. Emphasis is not on lap records, it is on driver feedback and FUN! :D

Classic!

Imagine if someone got this car, parted it out, rebuilt the tub and made a Lemons racer. There's no way it would qualify, but it would be incredible!
