Re: The 3S Gauntlet has been laid

The 4G63 is a great motor hands down.

Most of the fast Evos do not have MIVEC. MIVEC just came out with the 9s, and there weren't even any aftermarket cams available for it until just very recently.

The 3s isn't that expensive, so I don't that has held it back at all. The MKIV Supra isn't cheap. The motor and drivetrain have held it back. It requires more work to get farther, which Josh has been doing.

The weight is a huge issue, so are some major drivetrain issues. Things are getting better for the market, only time will tell where it walls again.
