Trying to supercharge a high compression, unproven flat four and compete against extensively developed and race proven American V8s and the KIA turbo V6 was a recipe for disaster.

Fair enough. But I still believe this car has the potential to be competitive with the beasts in GTS. It's too bad there was no further developement this year. I was looking forward to going live to PWC in Toronto specifically to go cheer KSR on and possibly scope their racecar out.
It bothers me to no end that Scion Racing isn't doing a damn thing in North America. I absolutely hate drift yet that's all Scion is focusing on. Damn shame.
