But they're running a peripheral port 20B, correct? I have a hard time believing that a 13B-REW has less mid-range power than a n/a 20B. Theoretically they could do anything they wanted regarding the turbo, I would think that the 20B would have a weight disadvantage. Thoughts?

I think they run the 20B because the reliability would be slightly better than the RE or REW.

Not long from now, when you're wearing that orange jumpsuit as they lead you to one of Texas' finest penal institutions, remember that many of us truly wish that neither God, nor anyone else, spares the tiniest bit of mercy on your worthless, pathetic, and soon to be pole-smoking soul.

they run 20B because 20 is bigger than 13. Bigger is better.

I just saw the damage that it took when it crashed (that was a crash? From the inside it looked like it ran into some cones) at JGTC in California on TV a while ago. Damn, the whole front left suspension and half of the front of the car was shot to hell.

Looks like the valve stems on the wheels are taped off. Is Turbo II-FB the reason?

Hey, I try .

Somehow we need to have a "Darwinism Convention" here on the forum. There are about a dozen people floating around here that (at the very least) should be on the "Do Not Breed" list

Ummm..

Not to offend anyone, but I don't think its among the best JGTC cars I've seen. Say what you will about the 20b and the way the car performs, heck I'd love to drive it, but as far as drooling over pictures...I'll pass.

Definitely, IMO, Rx7+NSX>Supra as far as street models go...

...however I think the JGTC Castrol Tom's Supra looks better than this FD, but the NSX model looks the best overall.

Ho hum.

yea the nsx's looked AWESOME... i think its cause they all had the F1 style engine scoops.

also you should have heard the RX-7 at JGTC... WOW, soooo cool, it sounded like an F1 car, and was just sooo awesome,

i want a periphial port na 20b... how reliable would that be for a street car anyway?
