That engine is underrated, but not THAT underrated. Nobody quotes wheel horsepower for specs.

Something is up with horsepower ratings. Autoblog reported 382hp and 369lb-ft of torque, 0-60 under 4 seconds: BMW global reports 340hp, 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. BMW USA reports "revised version of the iconic 3.0L I6" and 0-60 in under 4.4 seconds. Sounds like Autoblog might have revealed a...

Surprising to me because at one point, I read that the take rate on manuals for the BR-Z/FR-S/86 was like 51-53%. Within the last 2 years, Tada was quoted as saying that any Toyota sports car would have a manual transmission because of the driver experience. I can't find the article now...

We really don't know any of that yet. The LS has always shared an engine block with the Tundra, Sequoia, Land Cruiser, LX, etc. If Toyota is using that 3.5L V6 as their workhorse V8 replacement, it could very well become a "Toyota" engine as well. FWIW, for as much as Toyota wants it to seem...

Longtime lurker, lifelong Toyota enthusiast, been following MKV Supra rumors and threads for the better part of a decade now. I don't want to be a hater, but it seems that any way you want to slice it, this car is going to have a MASSIVE numbers problem: Ford Mustang Ecoboost: $25,585 310hp...
