Thank you!
No one said the MKV will come from the factory with 1000hp.
E46 M3’s were making 1000hp years ago with aftermarket support....like you said, big turbo’s, fuel systems, etc... Those motors (just like the 2JZ) had to upgrade their internals to handle 1000hp. Even MKIV owners today...
Pretty sure your right about the “regular” or base cars being built in Austria. I am going with my source on the “serialized” cars in Japan. Just hope they are not for racing purpose only....time will tell right?
He’s trolling bro, trust me. His client-side info appears in several places just like the other “new” members. Don’t waste your time....tomorrow he will probably be “MKVLover” then “MKV4Life” then etc...
All this and folks think I’m still talking about base model MKV’s.
It took many many years for the 2JZ to reach 1000hp because the aftermarket and technology was still in its infancy with the 6 cylinder engines....especially foreign 6 cylinder engines. There has been sooo many advancements made since the 2JZ’s time for big HP, that even 4 cylinder Subaru’s are...
I don’t think it will be for millionaires....I think it will be for folks in the GT350R, Demon, GT500, etc... bracket. You gotta pay to play bud, the MKIV TT 6spd was no economy priced car back in the day either.
It will be worth it....I think so ;).
Told ya'.....Sounds like my source was right after all about the Motomachi info??? ;):rolleyes:.
The good stuff is yet to come, and then we can spin up the MKIV vs MKV threads again :yes:.
Start saving up boys....
Forums are scary places, jam-packed with images and links....god only knows where those images and links are hosted and who has visibility to the Apache access logs. I guess sometimes, not owning a MKIV really isn't a bad thing at all, huh?....haha.
"The nails that stick out, always get...
Haha...oh nothing, just love it so much that I couldn't help myself but let everyone know. Especially the "loud--er" people :rolleyes:.
So then you probably remember the old Backtrack motto right, "the quieter you become, the more you’re able to hear …" :D
Mods, please delete this thread once and for all.
I am sorry for trying to start a thread to get legitimate thoughts and opinions, but obviously that cannot happen yet.
Please delete this thread.
Thanks.
Yes, the title of the thread is “What will MKIV Owners Do?” The title is NOT “MKIV Owners are Stupid for Not Wanting to Throw Them Out for a MKV.” My first post cleary stated:
“So, I was thinking about this the other day....and I don’t want to start a flame thread, but when the “special” MKV...
Yep...
Now remember, Tada did say that one of the biggest factors was transmission feel. I am sure there will be some sacrificing of "refinement" for strength and durability. I mean, that's exactly the case with the V160 right?...notchy and noisy, but strong asf! :D
You hurt my feelings :cry:.
There is more info for me to share, I just can’t out of respect to my source. I am confident 1000whp+ out of the “alpha” cars will be easier and sooner than most think. I will leave it at that....unless @A70TTR cares to add more :D.
...and all this time the Supra...
