Can we open an online pool? I am not advocating gambling, but I seriously don't mind putting money into a pool of how soon MKV's will be hitting 1000hp. You have no idea how bad some big name tuner shops want to be the first to hit 1000hp on a MKV....start with local shops like Sound...

I gave up on Lexus design after I sold my IS350. For a luxury car brand, that is the one area I feel they lack....exterior design. Interior, technology, reliability, engineering...hands down Lexus. Design....Mercedes all the way!

Exactly! It will be a very HOT market....very excited for this.

This is what I have been trying to get across to some folks, that 1000hp on stock bottom-ends are simply for bragging rights and not real-world use. Running a 1000hp on stock bottom-end 2JZ is crazy, any MKIV owner will agree. Heck, guys rip apart their 2JZ motors at 650hp to play it safe.

Why I believe big HP will be made easily and quickly with the MKV Supra. For the sake of argument, let's use the B58 engine: - Aftermarket. The aftermarket is ready and prepared for development of parts for the platform. We are in 2019 not 1999....aftermarket companies have invested...

:dunno: I truly don’t know the cost....or when it will be available. This is what I want to know as well. I don’t think it will be stupid expensive from Toyota, I believe it will be stupid expensive when dealers start price gouging. It’s the nature of the business. Look what Ford was doing...

Yep...

You are right Jeff, it never made sense to have the 97’s as Limited Editions. If I recall (someone correct me if im wrong), they only put Limited Edition stickers on 97’s when the cars arrived at the docks here in the States as directed by Toyota USA to help boost sales. They figured if the...

That has been the million dollar question....that and cost. I have been trying to get my source to tell me, but all he is saying is “save up and be ready, it will be expensive and won’t be as attainable.” The way I decipher this is that because of the “alpha” cars limited production, they will...

I wish that was the case, but as I have mentioned in the past....the introduction cars are not the ones “we” are all waiting for. All MKV’s will be great cars, but nothing like the “alpha” cars. The top tier “alpha” cars will be nothing short of amazing (at least what I believe based on the...

Jeff, it will be quite interesting indeed!

@A70TTR , many folks will be surprised.

:thumbsup: My source was correct....again. Thank you for confirming. If the remaining info I have received is true, we will see a true successor!

Bro, your wasting your time....there has been an influx of trolls recently on this forum that are “repeat members.” They are literally three of the same identities posting on a few threads. Let them think what they want, the more attention you give them, the more they will come back.

@A70TTR , anything unusual about the timing chain orientation of new and current B58 from the picture in the article? Could this have anything to do with a possible 90 degree engine orientation vs conventional BMW style?

So the bare MKV chassis’ I was told about earlier going to Japan might actually be true??? :cool:. Wow....;) So far, nothing I have heard from my source has been false.

Have it your way....I think these discussions are becoming repetitive and going in circles everytime a “new member” joins this forum. Everyone has their own opinion and information on the upcoming car. I’m done responding to anyone with less than 300 posts. Btw bud, that last sentence doesn’t...

Exactly! It’s a no brainer that no matter what motor Toyota uses, 1000hp is inevitable much sooner than before because the aftermarket will be very quick to jump on it (pistons, rods, etc...). It’s a f****en new Supra for crying outloud! The aftermarket probably have 1000hp kits ready before...
