Yes, the Genesis is an FR. And yes, he's turning it into an MR.

There is a shop or somebody doing one of these on a dc over on TI... I didn't pay to much attention to it though lol

Agreed.

Tanner's TRD NASCAR V8 Scion sounds sick nasty, but I hate Scion's..Papadakis shoud've stuffed the TRD V8 into an IS and let Foust loose with that.

That was completed quite some time ago and the bulder has been featured in quiite a few magazine articles.

Rhys Millen is a hero!!

Agreed.

That actually might not be a bad idea... Tanner was having issues with the suspension of the Scion at FD in Wall NJ, spun in both his qualifying runs.

Can't wait for SEMA! I'm going this year so I'll see it in person!!!

Yes it's FR, but many many reviews have been saying that the v6 version is not balanced well and sluggish compared to the I4 turbo (which has a 4B11 I believe?). It makes sense that they're attempting this build. It's crazy, awesome, and may lead to a MUCH better V6 Genesis than the factory setup.
