Why would you be offended? It is easier to build and make more reliable power on the 2JZ then the VQ. But in the end its anyones opinion since nothing beats cubic dollars.

I could care less. If some shop wants to make money buy installing an inferior (I obviously dont mean stock for stock), older (puts on flame suit) engine into a newer car-good for them.

Let the 2JZ nuthuggers attack!

hey, what's funny is hp doesn't make fast. Just because you have a 1000hp supra doesn't mean it's fast.

I agree with doug on this cause the Z is still new and we have made big reliable power already. Plus I like the tq in the vq better.

its just a hobby or trying something new to the Z imo. also its easier/cheaper to get more hp from stock turbo then aftermarket turbo.
