My point was you can see the Griffon is a VERY dialed in car for the track. It was Evasive's first time on the track and they set a great lap time with a very competent driver. They will only be faster with more time on track, but put the videos of the Evasive car and the Griffon side by side and the differences are readily apparent on the characteristics of each car. Shows how TRD resources can better an 86 for track duty while keeping it near stock power levels, and those resources have trickled down to the 14R60...
there is a fast camry in nascar. i just dont see too much of a correlation.
