Toyota may be coming on board as they've a pushrod V8 developed for NASCAR than can be used. Some others supposedly interested as well but engines that meet the rules is a problem...

Suggest you check out the regulations - brakes are not an issue - just the engine and body.

I got the joke,

**Muramoursuard** · 09-07-2011, 03:44 PM

No, you missed the joke - the problem was the throttle...

**beneitpedro** · 09-07-2011, 03:59 PM

Umm, and the brake recall too.

Brakes yes, but the big one was the cruise control circuit causing unexpected, and unwanted acceleration.

Hence, "Toyota. Always moving forward (even when you don't want to)"
