RS2000, six speed with dual VVTI 2 litre beams 3SGE engine.

Avoid the 2l 6 cylinder like aids.

The 2JZGE is a better engine for the altezza IMO, but only came in auto.

Hey, why avoid the 2l 6 cylinder? But cheers for that, ill be keeping my eye out for a RS200 !

The 2 litre 6 cylinder is more designed for smooth low/mid RPM power, whereas the 4 cyl version is made for mid/high rpm power.

Which is why the lexus came with the 6 cyl, as they're aimed more at people wanting smooth driving etc rather than a quickish sort of car.

280t woulda been the fastest, but good luck finding one!

Not a factory Altezza anyway.

I think the version you want is RS200 Z's? they're the ones with the LSD and all that shizzle.
