For sure the Supra will, for drivers like myself anyway, be a much more fun and rewarding car to drive than a Mustang or Camaro. And possibly modern Porsches as well. We shall see... |

Wouldn't an iron block inline 6 hypothetically be able to handle more power compared to an all aluminum 4 cylinder block? Or am I mistaken?

You are comparing the Cayman to the BMW Supra. How is an iron block inline 6 cylinder relevant to either one of them? That is what had me confused.

I believe this is how they reinforce the aluminum block by means of plasma coating.

He has me a bit confused to, more so with his hypothesizing about about power handling with cars that people don't generally look for 700hp out when modding. |

I agree but unless you live in Japan... I don't think you can get them easily. Every Major Toyota Dealer in Japan had the Area 86 convert into GR section booth/display the last 2 years & I'm sure there is tons of stuff going on those walls very soon.

I thought the new Supra had an inline 6 with an iron block, I guess I'm mistaken though? I thought that was confirmed
