Did you guys read what "Chris V" from that board had to say about the Lexus V8??

Its tiny!

Imagine that in a Miata.

uh huh. take a look at the clearance between the shock towers. an inline 6 is longer than a V8, but it sure as hell isn't as wide.

u mean width? well yea that could be an issue, but I'm sure the V8 can sit lower in the car and its a fairly narrow v8 so its ok ( i think its 45deg not 60deg).

ni any case its lighter.

They put the dyno charts on the hood? lol

That red/black combo is growing on me although it would look better with black at the bottom and red on top.

BTW, is it only Toyota that still makes 2-tone colored vehicles anymore.
