Is supra engine better?

[Bayareaz]

A lot of reviewers praise the Z but say Supra is faster and has a better engine. I don't know much about this engine plant vs supra's.. What do you all feel?

yes the 2jz-gte is bullet proof and far superior. / thread

The B58 is a great engine and doesn't appear to have some of the same issues as its predecessors. I6, closed deck, underrated factory output, gobs of torque, high ceiling... just some of the things that I like about it. I'd own one if they paired it with a manual in a new car that I could stand to look at. The VR30 is no slouch either but I'll probably end up in a S58 powered car at some point instead.

oh...he's asking about the b58

 

[Bayareaz]

Lol sorry, yes I meant b58 not the 2jz!

The b58 is better and faster. The engine is the heart of the car but not everything. I think most Future Z owners are in it for the total
Package, heritage, nostalgia and not worried about being the fastest.

I concur, B58 is "better".

But, if you compare the VR to it's closest Japanese competitor, the TLX-S, it's definitely the better of the 2, not even close.

Yes. The B58 is superior. Closed deck, I6, decades of BMW knowledge. Just watch the Savage Geese vid when the tuners talk about it. B58 has a much, much higher ceiling.

Let's see if it trends for the next several months, and variations of the meme will be created.

I watched the fight, that was a nasty kick.

they both have their positives and negatives.

maybe another question that we should ask is which would you rather have? let's look at twist of the classic choice triangle...

1. fast
2. reliable
3. cheap to maintain

you can't have all 3, so pick 2

Better engine and car.

From fuel cut out to too much weight the Z is what I thought it was going to be. Looks good though.
