I am just saying if you are going to bring an old thread up, you might want to check your facts. There are similarities between the LS and R07, but it isn't like you can swap parts back and forth between the two. Think VQ vs VK.

NASCAR uses OHV because that is a RULE in their series. Toyota doesn't have any OHV motors, they had to build one from the ground up in order to compete. Heck, they just got EFI recently. It's one of the reason why BMW and Nissan chose not to compete in NASCAR even though there is a huge marketing opportunity available.
