yea thinking about it now, it would actually surprise me if they used a VQ37VHR motor to do a race car build. the VVEL system really adds a lot of heat to the oil. it would almost be counter productive compared to the oil cooling system needed for a straight up race car. i guess it could be done but it makes sense to use the simpler motor if it makes the power needed more reliably (in theory)
