Remembering Japanese cars from the past
I really have to give credit to AUTOnGRAPHIC for this little gem:
He scanned a very old Dori Ten (from waaaay back in 2000) where this (very well known) 3S-GTE powered TA63 had an amazing four page feature!

In the Drift Showdown a Carina TA63 has been put up against a Nissan Silvia S15! That is some serious competition there!
In the showdown Tomikuda drives the Carina while Taniguchi takes care of the S15.
Judging from clipping points and lines the Carina is a definite winner here!
But to be very honest: this Carina TA63 does not feature a 3T-GTE engine anymore. See also this Carina TA63 I posted almost three years ago and compare it with the video above. It is indeed the same Carina and that Carina definitely features a 3S-GTE from a SW20 producing at least 218hp. Judging from the large intercooler and extra large turbo it should have a similar output in horsepower as the S15…
