It is basically, a BMW Z4 with the Toyota Supra sheet metal.
The engine is the inline BMW 3.0 6-cylinder B58 platform.

The chassis and driveline is BMW, and the transmission is a General Motors 5L50, also used in the late model Cadillacs.

It should be called the Z4-Yota...

Joe ,this is beginning to sound like a Shifty Schiff hearing. Am I going to have to call my lawyer in on this one?
This doesn't look like a THM 400 bolt pattern to me >

Hence my original question..
I see so much smoke , I can't even see the mirrors LOL

Why don't you tune in on Tuesday and pitch that question? I would personally rather help Bobby get some ratings than beat it to death on here.

And the answer to your production numbers is between 2,500 and 7,500 (approx.) each year since 2020.

Good idea. I thought about that but I'm in a shaky internet area right now.
I wanted to throw a few out in advance, here. Someone else might have to pick up on them next week.

Meanwhile, I'd love to see one of your GTOs as a Stocker..You know...see how good you really are LOL

They didn't make 500 Thunderbolts and they are running in Stock?

I know it...not to mention a C4 bolted to an FE ;-)

Stock Eliminator is so diluted now, that it has lost some of it's interest for me.

I love cars that still look like cars that came of the showroom floor.

NOT looking forward to the day that the class becomes - - Stock Appearing Eliminator. Without consistent TECH at events that is where we are headed.

YES, I know that the cost of consistent, reliable tech inspections is OUT OF SIGHT. With all the cars that now run in the class, it would be nearly impossible to train the personnel needed and to have available all the info needed would be overwhelming. Plus NHRA doesn't really care.

Yeah but they were an option in FE equipped Bolivian mail trucks, a highly guarded secret. Only one year though...

I noticed in rule book that you can not run a aluminum center section in the 9" rear end unless it cam from factory. meaning no mark william's Plus rule does not allow 12 bolt rears in that car. plus no aluminum or carbon fiber drive shafts unless available from factory. But i'm sure nhra will change this for that car just like they allow crate motors in copos
