          Because, why would they make a V8 Supra when the I6 2JZ motor made alot of power. I don't understand why you would want to buy a car with that much power to the wheels already. It's almost like it's already modded and there isn't much left to do...Seems like a waste to me...I think they should upgrade the I6, twin-turbo it again, and sell them as they were. They were/are gorgeous cars...They should keep them that way....

            Or how 'bout they use a V8 which has great power potential and then turbo the piss out of that?

                    JN, I dont really think you know what you are talking about. Yes the 2jgte was an awesome motor. But, change=selling cars. btw, u need injectors and a turbo to make 1000hp? damn your good?

                      Well come on, I know that's not all it takes, I was merely stating that you MAY want to upgrade those before trying to tackle that kind of HP gains...Give me a break here...

                            Shit, even with a V6 its $40k, whats another $10k at that price level? Why use an old motor? Change has to happen dude.

                                    Yea, I agree that change has to happen, but they could have just kept the V6, do one that isn't turbo'd and then another one that is twin-turbo'd...

                                      Are you afraid of a V8 or more displacement?

                                          I'm not scared of the power that it may have, I just don't think a supra should have a V8 in it. It's not what we have come to know the supra as.
