What do you mean "have this one?"Cheesenip said:
And I beleve ya about the new one being slower. I mean it looks heavy. I think their is a limit to FWD hp without going full race practically. I mean im at 250-270 ish?? and first gear goes bye bye when I get in boost. Now and LSD would help ALOT! But its not the end all be all, if I got over 350ish the LSD wouldnt be able to save me. Thats when youll need the "Track Car" equipment.
Ahem, AKA
It REALLY! pisses me off car companies do this. WHY ARE THEY MAKING FWD SPORTS CARS!!!!! DAMN YOU! Is it cheaper to make them? Weight? The differences between making a FWD and RWD car cant be far off.
Their just going cheap using the same frames/mounts as the econo versions of the "FWD sport" cars. FUCK TARDS! Spend the extra, we will pay it. Another 240 would be nice, so would a supra, or a worthy RX, ill settle for a damn MR2.

what i meant was beating the mazda speed 3( sorry but its true)...Yes...FWD sucks ass and my LSD doesnt matter...1st 2nd and sometimes 3rd ill smoke the tires right off it, even in low boost. The srt-4 caliber is heavy and areodynamics arent helping this pig out. And what really sucks is its an aluminum block...make alot more power and BOOM...aluminum foil.

Funny, coming from a Honda fan. Yes, it does seem hard for Honda. Have you looked at the price of a brand new S2K lately? They go for $40K and deliver less perfomance than a $30K 350Z. It's a good thing the new Supra is on it's way. There is some good info on it out there on it. Toyota promises atleast 350hp, better handling and braking than a 350Z and all for the same price or less. They have the BEST reputation for coming through with there targets and claims so I don't doubt it. There is a GOOD Toyota on the horizon. But Nissan is also in the process of upgrading the Z, they're talking 320hp or so.speedin said:
That's the best analogy of big powered aluminum blocks I've ever heard! :lol:Cheesenip said:

A sports Toyota is coming back!!! ORLY! Bout damn time, but they better live up to their comitments (and not make it a 50K car like the Skyline).dc2GS-R said:
OHHHHHHHHHHHH, Can you imagine if Toyota and Nissan got in a battle with their Z and Supra's! Like the EVO and STI have been doing! OMG BLISS!

It's supposed to have a version of the 2GR 3.5L V6 pushing 350hp coming in around $30k and with the possibility of having an optional 450hp 5.0 V8 so it can play with the next Skyline too. There is also a convertible in the works as well to spank around some 350Z droptops and S2K's
