Ah, the McLaren that was losing to Crawford's BRZ and allegedly had an untalented driver.

I'm thinking the complete opposite MP4-RZ. Engine swap the fa20 into the McLaren for mad low COG, yo, and make it run again but better.

Would be sick. Too bad I don't have 50k laying around. I wonder what the reserve is.

Would be hilarious if Crawford did it.

Also, I think the McLaren could benefit from BRZ tires. Emphasis is not on lap records, it is on driver feedback and FUN!

Classic!

Imagine if someone got this car, parted it out, rebuilt the tub and made a Lemons racer. There's no way it would qualify, but it would be incredible!
