Why is everyone laughing? It's a perfect car to grab milk, diapers and a 40.

It's up to 156TQ, five more. That'll make you queezy.

Chris Harris is going to be like.... (British accent) if this was a 370zed, 5 horsepower would have no effect. Nissan engineers are a joke. But when you get the skilled engineers of Toyota behind a tune. 5 horsepower, feels like 40. Toyota has built the ultimate sports car and continues to make the 8-6 more outstanding while the rambunctious front heavy zed.... just feels. Blah! LMFAO!

I don't think it's a bad looking car after the wheels are changed, but the horsepower is an absolute joke. If it had at least ~275hp it would definitely be a contender against the Z market.

That would be ideal but even 240hp would get this thing going way better.

Since the 86 debut, if it came with 220 to the wheels at 3k lbs (tops), we'd all like one one our garage.

Right, but I wouldn't have bought one if it's down 100hp from a Z. If it's down ~50 it would be fine since it's a lighter car.

That sounds about right. With dry sump lube so it'll fit right.
