new toyota supra 2007

[Black'88]

Meh, I wouldn't call that a supra. They should just come up with a new name for it. A car's not a supra without a I-6

"They come in V-8 ?? I'm getting one" !!

[suprabullet916]

i really don't know why everyone is complaining about a friggan v8 in a supra. people are all tryin to squeeze v8s into their FDs and Miatas and you guys wanna tear the shit out for a smaller, older, heavier motor that is more prone to fucking up? thats ass backwards. v8s are stone cold simple and makes fucktons of torque. Besides, with a NA v8 stock, there will be so much more potential then some 3.xLitre straight 6.
I have been testing corvettes recently, and i don't like the cheap american interiors but i really like that LS1/2/6/7s can pull out of anything in any gear. and the 2/7 motors sound rediculous, like F1 status with exhaust.

Aftermarket Twin Turbo v8 supras anyone?

dont know why your bashing on the 2JZ, who many 3.0L engines in the world you you know of that can produce 1400+++ hp? that would even be a strain on your Vette V8s.

Hes right if it stresses the vettes V8 how is toyota going to pull this v8 out of their ass and make it handle 1400+ HP easy. Im 100% a supra guy but the new skyline will walk allover a new supra. They need to stick to the inline 6 platform!!

Was wondering if you are saying that one would not be putting a strain on the 2JZ at that much HP?

Truth is the longevity is out the window on any motor when your numbers get high in the HP and TQ bands unless you do a proper setup and even then...well you know. I don't want to seem more USDM sided here and I FULLY KNOW Supras make big hp numbers, but it would seem that you are discounting the LS/Chevy (or even the Ford) block too much.

Nelson Racing Engines builds 350 and 434ci stroker motors that produce 1,000hp on 91 octane and 1,500+ on race gas. They have big block Cheby (yes i said Cheby) motors that make 3,000hp as well. All of which fit in a late model vette, firebird, or camaro or any other oldie.

Again, not being USDM skewed, I just can't stand it when someone says that American muscle can't handle big power.

you don't get it, so ill explain to everyone here supra as it stands is AWESOME, PERFECT. You don't Fix Perfect and you can't do better. plus v8 is generally more American. i own a 5.0 trust me i know they don't care too much about the looks. they care more about performance and noise.

So recap,

A. no all of us do a Engine Swap that way, if i had a supra trust me it wouldn't even cross my mind to put a v anything "I-6 for life".

B. the new concept doesn't remotely look like a supra, that's freaking sad how could they drop such a good looking platform.

C. Some people prefer the sleeper effect ( Quiet, cleaner, yet fast) i like both but if i had a supra i'm pretty sure you wouldn't hear it coming. that's just my style. my 5.0 on the other hand... lets just say i wake up people when i stay up late.

After market twintubo V8 anyone ?? no thanks... give me an MK4 any day and ill be happy with it.

to me the car means something more then just simple HP, that car has a great story and to top it off looks nice.
