Kinda cool! Check it out.

The field this season will see the participation of seven Toyota Supras, the title-winning GT500 car in 2002. A major change from last year, however, is the introduction of a new power plant; a naturally aspirated V8 replacing the 4-cylinder turbo-charged 3S-GTE used last year. The 4.3-liter 3UZ-FE used for the Lexus and Soarea models has been bored to a capacity of 5.2 liters for the JGTC version.

Too bad the US can't watch the season til next winter. Speed Channel showed the entire season a month ago in just one weekend.

Does that mean we can expect the next model Lexus' to be.
IS520
GS520
LS520

Oh Man. I wish Lexus had the Cahony's to do it. That along would make me get the new Generation GS.
Could you imagine GS520. drool.... Can't a guy daydream.

There must be people from Lexus reading this.
If we scream loud enough they will hear us.

To make you drool even more Paul GS430 imagine a GS520 with a six speed manual tranny

Richie

A SMG type gearbox would be better for everyday driving IMO.

PAULGS430

Yeah. The SMG is very nice indeed. The SMT version in the GS E-shift is too slow. I think the software needs update. I kinda miss the E-shift in my ride. Sequential Manual Tranny in a GS 6-speed would put it over the top. I would still probally wait 1 or 2 years until all bugs taken out in the next gen GS. tho.
