      @seanmccarty1176 Před 2 lety +5

      @@everythingman987 there's a reason for that. The 8.8 rear end is cheap and reliable. Why replace something when you can squeeze every last penny from it? This isn't a diss at Toyota or Ford, it's just a very good business decision. Ford didn't feel the need to replace the 8.8 yet to make more sales. Plus they could market it as just like the 60s stang. Toyota may have felt that using more technologically advanced stuff would endear them to people who may be hesitant to buy a Japanese car. Spending a bit more money to increase your market share internationally is also a good business decision.

      I worked for Toyota R&D as a vehicle performance engineer at the Toyota proving grounds last summer and got to work with some of the guys at TRD and they definitely have the best mentality and motivation to make these cars as best as they can. Sucks that sometimes the high up departments cut funding and development for some great projects.

      Come to think of it, I really do believe that, that whole switcheroonie/plot-twist thing was really the genesis of the Skyline/GT-R vs Supra rivalry. A lot of the tech found in the 2000GT got carried over to the Supra, in hind sight. Had Nissan not bought Prince...Oh man, the possibilities. Maybe, in an alternate timeline, the 2 models are switched between the brands, Nissan with a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive halo car (that's not the Fairlady), and Toyota, with a V6 All-Wheel-Drive halo car. Idk.
