there have been several reviewers that have commented that it is the worst horn they have ever heard. I will say that I laughed when I heard it the first time lol
see post #18 for a little clarification on my previous statement: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/toyota-supra-and-bmw-z4-sales-figures.2061/page-2#post-48934
that said, still looks as though they will move ~3.5-4k cars in the US this year even with the delivery hurdles etc.
Tremec is also not a TMC supplier, nor have they ever been AFAIK.
That said, I'm sure he could leverage ZF (through BMW) or even Aisin to make a manual to preference; paying for the R&D though, well that's another story. It sounds like none of the current offerings please him, if these public...
Just a tough comparison to align with IMO.
There are much easier ones to make, but I'd definitely agree more with the SZ being the N/A auto and the RZ being the TT. That's how they aligned in the A80 days as well.
GRMN is on another level.
Toyota sent you this as a response? I can't say I would put much faith into that for several reasons... Well, that and the fact that ignorance is at an all time high these days with anything public channel.
Probably do, but you can do up to around 800whp +/- on a 2J for a long time without issue if you don't beat the hell out of it 24/7. I've even had friends around the 900 mark with headstuds, turbo, standalone, and fuel, but it's merely a game of time at that point.
The issue anymore is fast...
Adam LZ has said he wouldn't mind being first to blow the motor as far as power handling goes. he just had a 420whp tune on 93 and is now doing meth and larger turbo and said he expects to be at or over 600whp (pure boost, no nitrous) sometime this week or next and is going to keep going after...
that's why I doubt it will be available aside from special order because they're not going to change the pricing.
it's made in-house dry carbon, so $$$$$
