Yet more fuel to throw on the Supra dumpster fire :rofl: Is there any reason this new engine SHOULDN'T be in the new Supra? It's literally the B58 from that car souped up to M spec. If that car came w/ a 500hp motor right out of the factory, I might be able to forgive a few of its fake vents. But only a few.

Yes there's one reason: the supra is a joke and BMW is laughing all the way to the bank.
