that was YOUR mustang. okay. I dropped in for a bit, but not too acquainted with anyone in grand forks yet. I stood by the front of your car oogling over it for a bit.
The car performs perfectly fine with the FR layout. No need to change the basic corvette DNA. If GM really develops a dry sump, v8 turbo, 3 liter engine that winds to 10,000 rpm, and they offer it as a crate engine, that will be very exciting, irrespective of what happens with the corvette.
The list of cars that wouldn't be better with a turbo v8 that spun to 10k is very, very, short.
Just wondering if there was anyone else on here that watched the ALMS series. I followed it last year and have been watching this year. Aston Martin, BMW, Corvette, Jaguar, Lotus, Viper, Ferrari all in pretty close to street trim cars. Very fun to watch.
I think throwing AWD on it would ruin the purpose of the car -- certainly in Toyota's lineup. I don't understand why subaru wants to be involved. My hope is that it's a pure RWD 2+2 coupe - light, and with a modest engine (which is also why i am glad there's no turbo). If it's supposed to be an AE86 successor, its supposed to be about low price and light chassis. Everything else would be secondary..
I'm going to drive one when I get a chance. I won't buy one, but I like that Toyota is doing this.
