May not be too bad for design purposes but mechanically not so sure! This seems to be the future unfortunately! JIM

Nothing wrong with Jap engines, my brothers 3.5-liter V6, 276 hp, 258 lb-ft; (Toyota Camry block) RWD, six-speed manual Lotus Evora went like stink.
Lotus-tuned the engine and it has a 7000-rpm redline.
The only thing that let it down was Lotus electrics.....
