    They also made a toms racing aristo alongside the vertex edition! Cool motors that nobody really knows about, especially when the aristo is the whole reason the 2jz was created!
    Currently own a mica blue gs300 with the n/a 2j and I couldn’t be happier when I drive it!
    Only downside is they share a lot with the supra mk4 so for an lsd or whatever ends up being big money here in the uk

    The Aristo was the only other car to come with the 2JZGTE. If you're gonna get one, make sure it's a V300 (turbo) not the S300 (N/A) .
    Vertex edition just had some trim updates, like 17" wheels instead of 16".
    Also they only came in auto.
    TOMS released some as well with a custom gauge cluster and were tuned for more power.

    JZA70s came with either 1JZ's or the 7mgte. The later being trash compared to the 1J. But America being America I wouldn't be surprised if the 70s came with a totally different motor that is worse than the 7M.
