The RB26DETT and 2jzGTE have completly different characteristics buddy, if you think they're just knock offs of one another thrown into competative cars you're way off....I mean hell, just look at the the redlines between the 2 stock...Which one's higher? The Rb26, which makes it a more practical road racer, than the lower revving 2jz-gte.....Don't get me wrong, no where did I say the 2jz-gte is a BAD engine, but like I said a couple of times....The only time it's put to use, is in the 1/4 and the dyno....But the Rb is put to use in the 1/4...on the dyno...on the race track...in rally's, pretty much anywhere..So yeah the supra's got balls....But it's 1/2 as versatile as the Rb26DETT......And versatility makes for a good engine.....not straight line power......If you're trying to argue for straight line power, you shouldn't even be bothering with talking about japanese engines.what the hell do u mean no one uses the 2jzgte? by that logic, no one uses the rb26dett...?

^hahah what interests me is his claim that the rb26 is higher revving therefore better for track work. haha man, do u have any idea what your saying
Have you ever thought why the S2000 is a great track car?THE 2JZ MAKES MORE TORQUE. this means, more tyre turning grunt for exiting turns and what have you. juyst because it makes no difference for the worlds best drivers doesnt mean its not better.
Lol.....Ok explain to me, since they both get their torque at the same time....and one has more revs...doesn't that make the Rb26 have a wider, more usable band of torque?having a wider, more usable band of torque is better in anyones books.
added to this the fact that the 2jz does indeed rev, and i can see your clearly not worthy of discussing this topic. u still havent named a better JAPANESE inline 6. name one and ill consider your worth.
You take a car that redlines at 6900(7000 with coaxing) with 312 ft lbs of torque and 280 HP Vs a car with 230ft lbs and 330HP that redlines at 8200RPM......Gaurentee you the 8200RPM car wins....I can put money on that actually....
