@patina.research Your eyes are not deceiving you. This is a DTCC touring car spec Lexus IS200 with a 120$ IGFE mated to probably a 10k sequential transmission, stock aero, slammed on its nuts. It sounds so mechanical I’m literally reaching euphoria, and yes, this Lexus really has a Mitsubishi sponsor on it. Another cool fact: this very same chassis ran in BTCC in 2006 after being purchased from Cavallino Engineering by Xero Competition.
