The problem with the 3VZ-E is that it only produces 47 HP / Liter.
That's almost as bad as American crap engines of that day, like the 5.0L Mustang engine with only 45 HP / Liter.
But of course not to say the 5.0 is a bad engine (*cough* *choke*) because we all know its got good torque and its heavy I mean, whoops (props for Brandon and Project Mo-Power
)
Newer engines are definately better. The 3.4 Taco engine is 56 HP / Liter, well just look at the V8 in the Lexus GS400, 4.0 L and 300 HP = 75 HP / Liter, stock 300k+ mile reliable. That's sweet.
HA! The stock C5 Corvette only makes 61 HP / Liter hahahahaha piece of crap ahhahaha
