Its so wierd because many of the 2j and 7M guys are all talking about how much torque, but I have seen a few videos of 1jzs running low 11s, low 10s, hi 9s and one running a low 9. All of these were on an MKIII body. I don't give a damn how you lighten it ( or if you do), IT TAKES TORQUE to get it moving. Horsepower keeps it moving. Horsepower makes it fast (top speed) but torque makes it quick (like when the back end squats). The 1j has both. It all depends on the setup. I know you guys are not argueing this but if you had seen the videos I have seen, more people would not switch to the 2j. This was Toyotas 1st choice on a JZ motor. They must have thought it to be a capable motor as well. I know a guy in Fla that was tearing ass up for a while in a little 2.5L 1jz MKIII (no NOS). This includes MKIVs, Skylines and some heavily modded American muscle. Most don't push their motors too hard, but once you get 600+ rwhp, just go hunting! 1J love!!!!!!!!
