That really depends on who's eyes you are looking through... if I wanted a real motor, I'd take the chance and drop in the RB... inline sixes are better performers than any V6, and can always handle much more power, much more efficiently.
... then why is the new GT-R is using a V6??

If you think about it... how many six cylinder motors have ever made more than the 2JZGTE or the RB26DETT? True, we're talking about built and tuned, but the fact is an inline 6 motor is going to be more efficient than a V6. There are many reasons why they would make the new GTR's motor a V6... better weight distribution being one, the fact that the platform has already been developed and can help cut cost could be another... ever wonder why they never made a V4?
But you don't have to take my word for it... there are just plenty more of 1000+ whp 2Jzs and RB26s out there than other 6 cylinder motors... and while there are plenty of high horsepower Gs and Zs with the VQ motor, they're lucky to be putting 6, 700 down, let alone 1000.

... kid, you are preaching to the choir... don't get me wrong the RB & 2JZ engines are beasts, but not the end all be all engines legend would have you believe...!!
Sure you can run 8 trillion HP on a stock block, blah blah blah... but when taken from an all around perspective... the RB is too damn heavy... made the GT-R's of old ungainly nose heavy beasts of burden... & the Supra, that car is a joke!!

^+1, but if you have the cash you can get 1000 hp from a VQ, I also think its quite a bold statement to say that inlines are better than any V6.
Not to take sides here, but FWIW, I think it's just a fact that the stock bottom end on the VQ is not near as robust as that of the 2JZ and hence bolting up easy(and inexpensive) hp gains isn't as readily available on our VQ's. That being said, aren't most of those ultra high hp 2JZ's running one HUGE turbo and are basically unuseable below 4K rpm ??....not cool for a daily driver.

I still had my first car until a few years ago too. it was a 280zx, which I pretty much just ran it in the ground. I kept it looking nice but it got to the point to where it it was needing a complete restoration to bring back to where it just had more than a nice appearance. what kind of shape is your supra in?

yea if were talking stock vs stock blocks. I just dont think i would say that any inline is better than any V.
Inline engines do have the potential for significantly more torque than V configuration engines, which is why every big diesel you see are inlines.
But not all V configurations are created equal, nor are all inline configurations.

I added as much as anyone else!

why go backwards on displacement?
For the time and money involved couldn't you build and boost the stock motor?
and probably have a lot less compatibility issues?
thank you.
we all love the RB. but why move backwards.
keep the VQ and mod or go forward and get the VK45
