It was a V8? It was the 2JZ Supra setup.

That's the Rogue Status xB I do believe

2JZ Swap and RWD Conversion.

However lets talk about that bull____ McLaren vs Nascar race. Stock car is not touching a MClaren around a track. That instantly reminded me why I hate Top Gear USA

What was bull____ about it? The MClaren is a road going Super car where the Nascar is obviously a race car. It's a heavy car so it did what was expected
in the corners and obviously on the banking corners. The Nascar with 900hp would shoot ahead. I see nothing wrong with it

I'm confused by this. The stock car is a million dollar car designed for racing. The McClaren is a great car, held it's own in the curves, but with 300 more horsepower, the stock car took it in the straights.

It wasn't getting close to that on the bank it was to short it was barley half of a lap they used. To me it seems staged I'm not saying the MClaren would win by a landside but it would eventually. If it was a full oval? Oh, stock car all day.

But, that's my .02
