2.1cm wider than the C6 Corvette and 3.5 narrower than a new Viper
that's at the widest point not including the mirrors.
it's chassis is also stiffer than an M3s

For fucks sake guys, there's a Nascar V8 stuffed into a Scion, I know technically its a Toyota engine in a 'Toyota' car, yet that's just as bad as not being able to tune an OEM Toyota or Scion engine and having to resort to something else.

Not sure if the Solstice is still being used (Rhys' former ride) but I think that basically had a completely custom front suspension.

i hope the hyundai engine can actually hold up..but then again..it all about money.... | It's not a show car it's a race car. Either they put in the Nissan engine or not race and lose valuable points. Too me it's not a hard choice.

Whats even funnier about FD is that you can't use aero mirrors, but you're allowed to build a RWD Scion with a Nascar engine.
Oh noes, plastic shattering all over the ground!
When bumpers and sideskirts are the no.1 thing to break and shatter all over the place. haha

So it's more like Mitsubishi using the Hyundai engine.
Hyundai hasn't used the Mitsu's V6 engine since it ended the production of 2006 Santa Fe with the Sigma engine so I don't know where you're getting that from. The Genesis Coupe uses the Lambda RS (upgraded 'version of Hyundai's existing Lambda engine from '04). http://www.allpar.com/mopar/world-engine.html | |

In a way...but can't really claim that since the header design, intake port, valve timing, and manifold are all different for the three engines. Plus the Hyundai engine has an open deck block (too much boost = warp the cylinders) unlike the Evo's 4B11T with a semi-closed deck. Maybe that's the reason they used a Nissan engine lol http://www.genesisdriven.com/posts/2...-pictures.html | |

in the case of the Autobacs R34, I think the team simply neglected to inform the Formula D inspectors of the slight change. if they listed out the modification on a spec sheet somewhere, they probably would have been passed.
