I think he's asking about what they make on stock block, for 2jz's the safe number is 800hp give or take. Papadakis has a built motor so that doesn't count for what he's asking.
Not all of us are, I don't hate the MKV like other MKIV owners do. Even got accused of not being a "real" Supra owner because I didn't jump on the bashing bandwagon. To me it is what it is Toyota made their decision life goes on. Even if Toyota made it all in house many would find something to...
One of the most honest posts I've seen, many that throw tantrums refuse to look at the bigger picture of what Toyota is now vs what they were back in the early 90's. Stock price has tripled, leadership changed. They are the #1 auto manufacturer in the world, they are sticking with what works for...
I've seen this pic and some modded ones in person on dealership show room at Lexus of Rockville for $150K. Don't get me wrong I like the car it just doesn't excite me even with the mods. A lighter more powerful version would though.

Sounds like you went MKV. 2 very different cars with one costing double the cost of the other. For me it would have depended on the purpose of the car. If you want something to tune then MKV other than that LC500 with suspension and wheels. Or wait for the LC-F which I'm assuming will be at...
Unless they were into Supras and other imports RS works on prior most won't know. I have some die hard domestic friends that probably don't know about RS same for some Euro friends. They can tell me all day which shop is best for their cars, tunes etc...but nothing about Supra shops.

The C8 is an impressive car for the money from what I see. The future release of the Z variants should be interesting, even a blower or turbos on the stock C8 motor would be fun. I would consider one over the MKV. Like pointed out already maybe it's time for a more powerful manual option with...
