One thing I noticed is that they're still using good ol' Toyota parts out of their parts bin. Time tested and proven parts that will ensure that this will be one of the most reliable supercars yet.
I have a feeling that Jeff can do this... Seriously..

4.3L engines in europe can make over 500hp. Ferrari or Aston Martin anyone. Wish I knew their secret. Guess I will have settle for intake and exhaust upgrade. Would be sweet to drop the IS-F engine though.

The GT-R is meant to compete with the GM big boy sports cars, like the vette or viper. The IS-F is with the m5's and such. Nice try though
