Since Google translate can't do Japanese like at all, figured I'd throw in my proficiency and note that this was supposed to say "under lip", aka front lip

I'm not hating on Evasive Motorsports, just posting this up to show how ridiculously setup the Griffon is when Evasive's Pike's Peak car is almost a second slower at Tsukuba... with around twice the horsepower and torque. That's the genius behind the griffon concept... lightweight + suspension magic + aero magic.

the time attack drivers here could probably drive tsukuba blind folded. that track is the go to track for car shake downs and what not. they spend an insane amount of time there. sub 1 minute for first time on that track is pretty damn impressive.

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...

But, they are racing cars. The Griffon is a test mule, a R&D vehicle, not a race car. What they have learned from that has been utilised in a 'Club racer' - the 14R60 and the milder street version. This has been explained to you time and time again, if you don't get it now you never will. |

you seem to be confused. the griffon test mule or whatever you want to call it may not be a race car but that doesnt mean a race car cant serve the same purpose as a test mule.
