Well correct me if I'm wrong, but the Altezza only comes in 4 cyl.

Are you meaning the IS300 from the Lexus range maybe?
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Can you get a 2JZGE 5-speed Altezza in Japan? That'd be my pick, otherwise the 3SGE is miles ahead of the 1G-FE

No you can't, and GE is for performance and FE is for economy,
so 3SGE beats 1GFE everytime.

Altezzas are fairly heavy.... I would expect a 6cylinder "economy" headed engine to be pretty similar to the 20V. (well not the engine.. the combination)

I may just talk a lot of arse though :roll:
