I don't deny that the 2GR is a good engine, it's just not particularly torquey. The FKS famously has received a lot of criticism from Tacoma owners for how much you have to rev it to feel any power, coming from their 1GR 2nd gen Tacomas with the 4.0.
The nice thing about a turbocharged engine is that the torque comes on very strong at low RPM's(The version of the B58 in my car makes peak torque from 1380-5200 RPM). Essentially you're at full torque at any given time in the powerband. It's amazing. Instant acceleration whenever you want it. There's a reason the IS350 is generally compared to the 4 Cylinder 330i rather than the 6 cylinder M340i.
I mean lets be fair.....the 330i is more of an IS500 competitor lol! The 6 cylinder engines are in an entirely separate league
i just imagined this thread 10 years from now ... still arguing over how many cylinders, toyota's reliability and lack of innovation, german vs. japanese cars.

You got that right friend!
Until my last dying breath. 🤓
That's what I was thinking at first but I don't think it is.
I tried to pm you to see if you like to drop that pic in the "what cars are these" thread but there was no button to send a pm.

Oh, no doubt.

No, my guess is an S420. If it were V12 there would be badges on the C-pillars. It can't be a 320 because those didn't have headlight wipers.
not yet but i will. my first robot (vacuum) i named "dusty". it wasn't very smart but did a great job for about 15 years (!). the new one i got, which can also mop, is crazy smart. i named it 'einstein'.
I name stuff like that ordinary names and it drives my kids NUTS. They'll want to name a stuffed animal "Pooty mcRainbowcloud" and I'll say "No, I think he looks more like a Sean to me" lol
I haven't really ever named anything, my wife has but I usually refer to thing by designations or serial numbers/last few numbers or the engine/chassis code
