Default RB Powered Altezza

Thought I share it with the IS community.






I can't imagine how many horses this guy is pushing, but I'd put my money on more than 500.

nice engine, nice car, but they do not belong together. 2jzGTE would be a better choice, just for the fact that IMO the 2jz is one of the best mass produced engines ever.

While I don't disagree, the RB is another great engine that I personally wouldn't mind having in any of my cars. That engine is a thing of beauty and powerful to say the least.

Thats insane and one tight fit. 2jz and RB25 and 26 are the best motors hands down!
