That’s true but advertising at a press conference that they did a motor swap for a car that is not even out yet just to put on a turbo kit might hurt them. The key word is “might”. You know some people are going to think.”Hey if I spend 25k-30k on a car and want to boost my car later on, I have to do a motor swap? What the hell” That doesn’t really look good in my eyes. That’s why I hope it’s the FA20 motor with a bolt on turbo kit. Hey even if they rebuild the FA20 motor to handle boost is better than a motor swap. These are my opinions. I guess we have to wait until 3:45pm to find out.
