Jason Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 give us the V10 supra and stop fussing around with the rolla :) Quote
Wood§tok Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 I think somebody has been told a porky. I had one for three days at Willowbank two weeks ago. :) lol. maybe its the first one for public sale? no f**king idea honestly, I'm just goin on what he told me. hes gone from a scorpion to an sp20 to a protoge sport to the 3mps... cheers.

ancullen Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 give us the V10 supra and stop fussing around with the rolla :) I don't think the Supra will have the V10, I think that's for some other car. It looks like the Supra will get the 3.5L 2GR-FSE V6 with even more than the 315hp it makes currently. There's talk of around 340hp. The top model will get the 5.0L 2UR-FSE (which is coming out in the soon-to-be-released Lexus LS600h) with about 450hp. That'd be plenty wouldn't it? Quote
ancullen Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 V8's are more compact and with 5-litres will produce PLENTY of power. Rumour has it (in the latest Wheels) that even the Lexus LF-A supercar will now have a V8, not a V10. Wouldn't be surprised if it hits 500hp. Quote
irokin Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 V8s are boring. Everyones doing them these days. Bring back screaming V10s and 12s Quote
dysolve Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 i think VW should make a V9 .. lol they like there v5 and so on lol... well its not really a V but it would be funny Quote
dysolve Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 without tring to sound racist. the japanise are not the best at starting/inventing new things, but they are great at improving stuff that is already around, i heard somewhere even the sprinter design was "borrowed" from somewhere, but i don't know how true that is..

Jono Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) yep, the mr2 was totally reverse engineered i think v8s will be used because formula 1 has gone v8 ( i want a v10 m5!!, but hell i'd be happy with a I-6 m5...) Edited August 25, 2006 by JC807 Quote
irokin Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 i think v8s will be used because formula 1 has gone v8 So? Just because F1 decide to be retards doesnt mean the rest of us should have to put up with unexciting engines. Quote
billygoat Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 Forget v10 I'll stick with the v8. V10's are an expensive amount of power that will never get used due to we don't have anywhere to bring out their full power. i also find the new camry unappealing. Quote
ancullen Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 V8's are great because they're more compact than the V10 or V12. However, any top of the range 'hero car' should have something like a V10 or V12 simply because it stands out from the pack. Oh, and V10's shouldn't be 8.3L pushrod pieces of crap either. Quote
irokin Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 However, any top of the range 'hero car' should have something like a V10 or V12 simply because it stands out from the pack. Exactly! Who cares about complicated or expensive. Its supposed to be the pinnicle in a lineup. Unfortunatly the F1 f@$kwits can't see that and like to use a trashy common configuration. V10/12 FTW! At least it would sound good then :y: Quote
JiP Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Posted September 7, 2006 Saw this on the road the other day. So i took pics. I still think the arse end looks cool but i hate the front (Mazda) Quote
