If only it wasn't faster!

(actually, it wasn't... it was its maiden race)

Why did no one tell me there was a viper rocking the old Oreca red white and blue ribbon livery?

Is the TLX the only car to not run a production based motor?

The beak is gone and it looks wonderful for it.

The TLX does run a Production based motor....the LMP2 engine used in the car is based on the Honda J-series engine

But, can you buy a TLX with a turbocharged V6?

Nope, but the rules say stock block for both the PWC GT and the IMSA P (Daytona Prototype and ACO-spec LMP2) This is why the HPD-prepared 3.5L turbo and the 2.7L turbo are allowed to run. Same for the S62-powered Riley-BMW Daytona Prototype that Ganassi used to run. These are called Competition Allowances

and to answer your original question if you wish be so damn pedantic, the Scion FR-S in PWC's GTS class is running a turbo engine too (I think it's a FA)... and before a supercharged FA engine

Now do you get it?

I get it, and I got it the first time, I just enjoy being an ass from time to time. It's been a long week.

Just remember the Golden Rule of Oppo.

We don't make exceptions, and I tend to be the most lenient of moderators.
