[QUOTE="f_rice, post: 1179817, member: 10408"] Do not discredit the 2JZ engine. Any stock shortblock that is forged and capable of handling 900 or so HP is damn impressive. I think the 2JZ and RB26DETT (Nissan Skyline) are two of the most kickass turbo engines ever produced. :rockon: That being said, while the engine is awesome, the Supra is limited by some other things. 1. IRS, Supras are known for wheel hop. The Cobras are capable of it too, but more Cobra owners seem to launch better. 2. This one is a bit more complicated. 3.0Liter of displacement+ a manual+ a huge single turbo needed to generate lots of boost and huge horsepower numbers. Turbos lag, the bigger the turbo the more the lag. So when you need lots of boost to make power due to only 3.0 liters of displacement, it is hard to use the Supras peak power in a 1/4 mile. Also with a manual, each shift requires releasing the throttle and causes PSI to drop, making it even harder to maximize the effects of the big turbocharger. Supras are very impressive highway cars, because they can reach their maximum PSI on a highway. As for the 1/4 mile there is the timeless Supra joke.... What does a 500hp Supra have in common with a 700HP and 900HP Supras?? An 11 second timeslip. <insert rimshot here> [/QUOTE]
