It's finally official. Toyota announced on Monday that it will enter Nextel Cup and Busch Series competition in 2007.
It's going to be a f'ing riot watching the Bud swilling, GM/Ford/Mopar bubba crowd getting beaten again and again by a Camry!
You know GM and Ford are in the crapper because....
- Thread starter N8 v2.0

Auto racing. Nothing like the premier sport of rednecks everywhere.
And we all know how much those Rednecks love their Toyotas...
Oh man, this will be funny. Although, when was the last time a Toyota engineer looked at a v8 that had a carbuerator and no AMD processor? 
My prediction: Toyota owns, Honda enters next year and the hicks go back to a sport that can surely can be domminateed by Americans, tractor pulling.

It's an incredibly astute marketing move...akin to kicking someone when they are down.

Yeah there was, there was also a Cat/VW engine too that ran on Diesel, both weren't anywhere near the torque the audi is making.
Well, it aint racing until WalMart starts stocking flaming Toyota baseball hats!
I would love to see a Toyota kick redneck ass.

They have a good v8 in the truck series. I don't follow racing but Stan does so by default I hear about it. They developed the truck engine in a very short period of time and it is rated for 600 miles - trucks only race 250 miles (forward thinking). Oh and the truck shares a chassis with the Busch series cars so it is an easy transition. I think they've been in the truck series for 4 or 5 years and have done pretty well.mack said:Oh man, this will be funny.

Toyota also has a pretty good history in endurace sports car racing, so i'd venture to say they should have no problem making an engine that can handle it.

I am a fan of motorsports, but nascar bugs me. It seems like it could be better if cars wern't running on 60's technology and they did more street and road courses. There are a lot of other things which keep me from watching/enjoying it, but those are two of my biggest gripes.
Yeah, watching people make 4 left turns 500 times is just a blast.
i think nascar is great.d.e.f. said:
its not about an "end" but about the means.
reducing it to an "end" is kinda pointless.
say you spend 6k for a "faster" dh bike, which is (in terms of mph) marginally superior than a "fast" 3k one... then you´d argue that you´d be better of buying a mx bike if you want to go fast....
i see nascar as i see mechanical watches... not even the best mechanical watch full of complications and thousands of hours of labor on it can compete with the precision of a decent $200 quartz watch... but thats not the point.
its about the skill that takes to make a precise mechanical watch, or to make a pushrod rev up to 9k rpm and last 500 miles...
If the series never raced in Europe it ain't auto racing. Nascar has nothing to do with superior technology, superior craftsmanship, or making your engine last. It's a good way to see things crash and catch on fire while drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon. That's why the tracks are oval, you no matter where you are you can see all the crashes, and having 43 cars on the track is a garuntee of at least one crash. That being said Toyota will school the rest of the feild.
Drive fast turn left.ZoRo said:
