Default Diplomacy InCARnate: 2JZ-Powered Corvette Runs 8s



What we have here is a C3 Corvette fitted with a turbo-charged 2JZ GTE engine from a Lexus SC300. And it's wicked fast.

Read the rest on the Club Lexus homepage. >>

Pretty damn sure that 2JZGTE is not from an SC300 pal...

"The most iconic of iconic American cars".. I threw up a little. I bit more research about the motor and cars in general would have been a good idea before posting it on the homepage :/

I think if you guys click on the source of the article, you'll find the original article claiming it came out of a Lexus SC.

Motor was swapped twice, maybe? Out of a Supra and into a SC.

why not out of an SC?
SC's (or Soarer?) don't come with GTE's in Japan?

looks like a double swap, into sc then into c3. They beat me to it I had always wanted to put a 2jz in a c3., guess i"ll have to go 2uz or something.

Why would I be joking? it was a legitimate question cause IN JAPAN GS's (or ARISTO's) come with the GTE engine.
