They have been in this game longer than anybody and it was nice seeing them finally achieve that goal.

They are a small team and it was pretty cool what they were able to do. They were pioneers in import racing and were the first 4 cylinder FWD car to make a 10 second pass in their CRX.

As for "what do they keep that's the same as a Mazda 6" I think the block might still be the same :-). But at the same time it's closer to reality than a showroom Taurus winning a NASCAR race.

Yeah expecially since they dont make the Taurus anymore 😄
