if he pulls away key word (if)it will be 3rd gear when he does. that 3rd gear in japanese cars will do u in. i mean the second seems like it builds up power then the 3rd u just take off.

Umm.... just going out on a limb here.... call me crazy.... BUT THEY ARE BOTH JAPANESE!

And guys, why does everyone think variable valve timing is the craziest thing ever. The worse thing is you all seem to think toyota's vvt-i and vvtl-i is the best variable valve timing out there. If no one noticed toyota was actually late to the whole variable valve timing game, atleast here in the US. Honda's vtec is just as or better then toyota's, and nissan just has it, they dont boast about it and put emblems all over their cars and engines... its just there. Everyone here needs to stop thinking toyota is the god's of car making, YES I agree toyota makes a great car but its not the only maker that does.

And vvt-i, vvtl-i, vtec, what ever fancy thing you want to name it will never give an engine anywhere near the power gains of a turbo... Example: 3s-ge had like 175hp, then got gains of up to like 20-25hp in its final stage in the altezza with vvt. And 3s-gte's have always had over 200hp and were up to 250hp with no vvt.
