SC going out with a bang. Wonder if TOM'S can pull off a hat-trick?

Nah. It ran a 4.5L Version of the 3UZ, Same engine the Supra used after they switched from the 3SGTE.

Last year, they began running a 3.4L Racing V8 (RV8-KG), homologated from Formula Nippon (new regs, the series mandates it, so all GT500 cars will use a 3.4L V8 from this year on).

The HSV a beauty.

I wonder how the LFA would do in this type of competition.

pointless and stupid to call that car an 'SC430'.

just like the nascar cars.

but, nice result for toyota/lexus/toms.
