Man seeing so many well done restored rides makes me wish I never sold my 83' Celica. Damn I want it back now so I can stick a 1UZ in it lol. Great coverage though, nice choices on cars!

You guys need to put a pole up for best hyper car at the show: between lambo, ferrari, and mclaren. Personally I like the P1.

Is it me or is it the right rear tail light (laser) out on the new lambo? Still think its cool though, looks like something you pilot out of wipeout or f-zero.

As stupid as this may sound Im surprised to not see the Mitsubishi Eclipse up there. It can be as ricy as people want to think of it but I thik it should get a little respect for how much power that car can potentially make for an FF.

Huh? I never implied that they weren't partnering together or have future plans of that happening. The point I was trying to make was why didnt they just use their version of TRD suspension thats already been developed for the gt86. To me it would make sense to use there own branding for this demo car instead of using KW's regardless if they developed it or not.

 Yeah thats understandable but even though brembo did develope their breaks TRD are using there version of it. So I figure it was the same with the suspension. If you go to TRD's website they have their own version of suspension on there. I dont know if they made it in house or not but regardless they already have suspension specific for the gt86.

 

I was under the impression they got tons of money for R&D. I think they should partner with more companys to get more colaborations going on and create more TRD products. Like the Steering wheel, racing harness, and wheels.

Great article. The only thing that gets me is why the went with a KW suspension. Im not knocking KW its just that TRD went through all the trouble of devoloping everything else from the breaks and bodywork and not even use there own suspension? I guess no harm though cause KW's are pretty damn good.

 Yeah this reasoning makes sense and I can understand this but I figure the poll ment either forced induction or NA if your getting it from the same power plant. Because if its going to be any power plant and choosing forced induction or NA then it becomes more understandable for everyone to pick whichever preference they like. Thats a whole other argument in itself.

 

Im going with NA for its benifits. My example would be like if we took two SR20's one with turbo and one without making the same power. Like If you can make 280HP with a turbo on the SR20 or extract the same amount tunning with an NA version. Which would you take? This is what I was trying to get at.

Ok for the sake of argument can the guys defending the forced induction give a good example to use turbo or supercharger over NA when they make the same power from the same type of engine?

 

I can see this poll going either way if the question was just black and white, forced induction or NA. But the factor of being the same power from the same power plant I dont see why you would go turbo or supercharge.

 

Im not trying to be a troll here Im just trying to understand the logic.

I dont get this if your getting the same power for each, why even go forced induction?  Regardless if the power is delivered in a different way doesnt the positives out weigh the negatives to have NA for the same power. For example wouldnt adding something like turbo add more weight to the engine bay, use extra space, and have more cooling problems then if you went with NA? I figure if your getting relativly the same power wouldnt it just be better by default to go NA for relaibilty reasons. Well at least if the power is coming from the same type of engine.
