i believe i heard recently (i think it was on the toyota F1 preview show on telly) that Toyota is making a foray into drag racing, producing large capacity motors to take on the other large cap engines available... as part of their world push to show they can (in just a couple of years) outperform in ANY class of racing... they showed a pic of that funny car, but i can't remember the details http://www.toyota.com/motorsports/news/drag/2003/0 2-07-01.html http://www.toyota.com/motorsports/drag/specs.html doesn't exactly say, just says aluminium version of 426ci hemi? http://www.toyota.com/motorsports/news/drag/2002/0 2-06-1.html The Celica Funny Car was developed using the production Celica GT-S as the baseline..... PML Toyota's 2002 drag racing program will also include TRD engine support for two vehicles in the NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series. Christian Rado will campaign a 750-hp Celica in the Modified class, while Craig Paisley will race a 900-hp Tundra in the Pro Import class. more celicas http://www.toyotacelicaonline.com/fastest.htm and finally.. Pro-FWD celica using 3RZ motor??????? http://www.nhrasportcompact.com/2003/news/august/0 82601.html so, is the nitro engine a toyota developed block? Cya, Stewart [Report message to a moderator]
