Any one got any specs on this and other JGTC cars? All I know bout JGTC is that GT300 is the 300hp class and GT500 is the 500hp class.GPXXX wrote:that's a GT300 / GT500 Supra race car from the JGTC (Japan Grand Touring Championship).
Would like to find out how these cars stack up against our V8 Supercars.

That supra (all the supras in the gt class) is in the gt500 class, funnly enought the engine in them a 3sge (gt4) donk, its pushed back, gives better balnce and weight, yet still pumps out over 500ps.
The intercoolers are usually laid flat for better air flow in front of the engine.
I checked out one of there sites a while back (Japan gt class) but cant be bothered looking for it!

the 3SGTE motor in the GT500 car was used for lower weight and due to its smaller size, it is mounted further in towards the firewall for better weight balance. however i believe this engine is no longer used in the GT500 class anymore... Only the Toyota MR-S uses the 3SGTE now in the GT300 class.
as for specs on this car, well i hope you can read Japanese:

I believe it was, but from what I've found by doing a bit of searching the engine used in the Supra is based on the 3UZ-FE. Here is a quote from one of the pages I found:
Source: http://www.toyota.co.jp/IRweb/corp_info ... /0225.htmlIn the All Japan GT Championship Series, TMC will strive for both the driver’s and team titles by introducing to competing Supras a new 5.2L normally aspirated V8 engine—based on the 4.3-liter V8 engine (3UZ-FE) available on the Celsior and other commercially sold models.

This could be a peek into the future for lower-emission high powered NA engines, following the footsteps of the 350Z.TheSentry wrote:I believe it was, but from what I've found by doing a bit of searching the engine used in the Supra is based on the 3UZ-FE.

Wondering the same thing. It should sound good considering it's running on 8 pots, but performance details r up in the air. Can't seem to find anything that gives performance specs, but there are probably some track times floating round. Problem is, what do we compare them to?Austin wrote:cool. wonder how is sounds and goes?!

actually its 500ps slighty diff from hp. Works out to be closer to 500 kw (rough calculation in head). The Supra would prob go better, better, newer technology, as oppoesed to the engine ford/holden is many, mnay, many moon old!!! Supra has better balance as well, prob weights less, has 6spd seq box. Would be good to see a race against them.
If some has Wayne Gardners # they could give him a call and ask him which is faster as he has driven both!

I think a race between the 2 would be a big head turner. Be a dream match for all the fanboys out there (including myself!).
Any way, I think Toyota would give the V8 Supercars a good shot if they finally do decide to turn up. Of course they can't use a Supra, but they would be able to work on a similar engine setup etc.
