hell yes amazing!!!!! go toyota!:w00t:

beautiful pictures! and hell yea for Kazu Yamauchi, love Gran Turismo!!

Any specs on the GT86s?

Pretty much the same spec for TRD's racing parts kit, with some safety equipment as required for VLN for V3 Team Suisse

The SP3 class Gazoo car were allowed heavier mods in suspension, gear ratios, and aerodynamic aids, and greater degree of stripping interior, but according to Tada-san, not much else in both teams, and basically running with stock engine with limiters removed, and a little more agressive fuel and timing map to allow for sustained high rpm/speed use without heating issues. (meaning it wasn't really for making more power per se, but to assure that it is running optimum mixture to minimize pit stops, and leaning the operation more to track use and eliminating any parameters created that was a compromise for mundane street usage.)

To add (lil more depth in one of the part), in #166 86 tranny had TRD Le Mans parts in there... so Chief Mechanic for #166 said in their interview
