I wish Paul Walker was never born. I loved the Supra until that stupid movie came out and everyone blurbs those three letters. It's like how the Bentley was cool until the 300C came out. . . and the subsequent fleet of POS Chrysler 300 V6's. I would never own a Bentley now. . . I don't want a car so similar to those nasty Chryslers. . . more over, I don't want to associate myself with the bling bling dub "wish-I-really-had-money-instead-of-credit-and-debt" crowd.

yes, but if it's stroked, it is the same motor. Displacement is important, but so is the structural integrity and design of the motor. You can't tell me a 3.6L Buick V6 motor is better than a SR20DET 2.0L. You can't tell me that a 4.5L Nissan/Infiniti V8 is better than the Ferrari's 4.3L F430 motor.
In fact, most F1 motors have small displacement, relative to your logic, and would be better swapping out their motor for Buick V8's. . . lol

I like the 2.0 TFSI from the Volkswagen/Audi group. Starts at 200bhp in the VW Golf GTI and Audi A3 and hits max torque in the mid to low 1000's to almost peak! I seen factory variations at 265bhp, too. A marvelous engine w/ practically no lag.
As usual, just money, time, and knowledge =)
