just a quesiton...
i was just wondering...not trying to be rude.
but why does everyone dwell on how many RWHP you end up with. all stock specs are given in BHP((arent they??)) and unless the transmission is a really sh*tty one the general drivetrain loss remains at or around 15%. so why go thru all the trouble to convert it to rwhp and compare...when in most cases 240BHP is really close to 240 BHP on another car. am i right or overlooking something really obvious>?

PS. is your auto tranny really unwilling to downshift to 1st after youve been moving? in my avalon is i get down to like 25-30 mph it'll still shift into 1st to get going. my supra tends to stay in 2nd unless i practically pound on the pedal>?.
if your not willing to bolt on...either go turbo, or sell the car and buy TT...otherwise you probly wont be happy. but in the end....your still driving a better car overall.
LOOK AT IT THIS WAY: you'll be driving yourS slower to 200,000 miles and they'll be going a tiny bit faster to about 115,000.

look at the one guy that posts alot ((billy i htink...cant remember his post name. 190,000 on orig. engine and tranny. sounds good to me...
