I have some insider knowledge that I don't want to get into but it's just really unfortunate that quality isn't what it used to be with some companies. Greddy is one manufacturer that I work with that I trust to do their homework and get Ken to more podiums this year.

The gloves are off and it's time to see what a purpose built car can do finally. I'm glad they ditched the subbie motor (no offense to the subaru lovers!).
Meh, it felt like it was the only way to turbo a fr-s/brz properly at the time when it came out. The only difference maker is that very very long start in irwindale.
