read back a few pages; it was started as a way to reply to a separate OT clause within the original few posts, but then we all ended up just flying off OT lol

I generally just assume any thread that has exceeded the 50 page marker has long ago drifted off the original topic lol

AHAHAHAH LMAO LOL ROMFL LMFAO LEL LUL WKWKWKWK JAJAJAJA HIHIHI HEHEHEH

 

[rtoadyt]

Apologies, idk what that was. Anyways, someone tell Toyota to mod out 2j's for a better more linear dyno graph, ya know, all the torque curves whatnot, shave off 20000000kg's off it, make it rev higher, make it more durable and more reliable, DO NOT PLASTIC COVER IT the way everyone does it these days, call it 3j. Oh, while we at it, also tell Toyota to make like a special limited edition Supra/SS w that 3j. Put to of em in one crank, qt it, hell, make 1800hp while at it, let everyone shut their mouths. Call the engine eXperimental JZ (xjz) or smthn.

Hey, the 3JZ-GTE was my idea.
Bet the dealers trying to sell you this car over a GT86 will have only 5 arguments:

1. It's a Supra
2. That engine is "the spiritual successor of the legendary 2JZ"
3. Every part of the car is "race-car inspired" and has "race-bred dynamics"
4. Much more luxurious, and is "the cruiser to the GT86's boy-racer feel"
5. It's a Supra

Looky looky, it's the new supra.

So aggressive, not even the mustangs and chargers would want to race with you and give the old corvette driving owners a run for their money.

The horsepower? Pssh, don't worry about such a trivial thing, imagine this puppy screaming when step your foot on the gas. It's both a DD and a weekend cruiser. All while holstering an arm around you to persuade you with half truths.

The engine can be modded to be 1000 HP even though the engine hasn't even hit aftermarket yet. It's a 3JZ bro, no shit they're going to find ways to be like the MKIV.

I'm imagining the multiple angles and pitches and I'm going to be shaking my head.

Fact check: this car would get its rear diffuser kicked by any Camaro SS, Stang GT, or Dodge SRT8. Even a C5 Vette would beat it in a stock-for-stock drag race.
BUT 3JZ, BRO! SUPRA AMIRITE!
But I will say, they don't need a single pitch to get me to buy it.
If I could afford it.

Power-to-weight ratios always work.
How much did we say this car weighs? I took a swing at 3300 pounds.

Less than 1500kg

 

[rtoadyt]

Less than 1000kg.

 

[Prius_F_Sport]

We wish, man.
If it's not 3300 pounds/1500kg, then how much does it actually weigh?

 

[AsupramkvC]

If you want to be sure of getting a 1500kg Supra, the 2.0-liter version is most probably the one.
