got murdered
Don't get me wrong, I do respect what they have done with these cars, but the same boost on one of our engines will yield more power and better drivability for the same weight vehicle.

You mean 2JZ, and they are not very modern by todays standard. Big old school heavy cast iron block, that doesn't look that much different than a 1950's inline six with an overhead cam cyl head thrown on it. I was smoking those cars when they came out and continued to do so as their millionaire owners and their tuners finally figured out how to get them to make power. The thing that made those cars fast was the size of the owners wallets. For a given amount of boost any LS1, LS2, etc engine will make more and it will start at lower rpm.

30psi on stock block 2JZ ~700-800rwhp
30psi on stock block LS-1 ~walking home
They're both awesome engines, and each go different ways about making great power.

Well first off I think he was saying 2J's and 1J's, as in "2JZs and 1JZs." Secondly, the 2JZ wasn't "phased out" until very recently... the Lexus IS300 used it until this current redesign.

if u ever go through the antelope valley in california, dont go against a plain lookin satin silver supra(newer model), I was MURDERED by a sleeper straight from hell, I was on my way to the bar and I passed him, just driving regular, well he flashed his high beams at me after i passed him, so I slowed down thinkin it was a regular supra, he pulled up beside me and downshifted and slowly accelerated a lil bit, I could already hear his turbo over my engine, so I went into 3rd and pulled up beside him, by this time he had his turbo spooled up a lil bit, then he hit it and i did the same. he took off like a rocket, my feelings were hurt cuz he beat me so bad, lol. I had no chance whatsoever. but it was fun hearing that thing take off.
What are your mods?

i once came across a white one. MT slicks on it, low pro's up front. the idle even intimidated me. but being my dumb *** self, i revved. the guy smiled, cocky (has every right to be) and after the front wheels came down on his car, i knew it was already over.
ended up talking to the guy a good long while. ton of money and work into the car, dynoed in at 1250hp, single turbo, 10.7 quarter mile.
raced a supposedly 1200hp one, well i was running 11.9 and he was running 12.5. i won by a fender, but he was spinning through every gear...wanna talk about scary? race against a car that has no traction from 0-100mph.

if you knew anything they do not make over 1000 on a stock motor buddy. they push about 650rwhp and reliabality goes out the window. And he never said on a stock motor. you would be ignorant to think an built ls1 on 30psi would lose to a built supra on 30psi.

in before the shitstorm.
actually, several of them have made more than 1000hp on the stock short block -I think thats what 88BlackGT was implying.
