Several features of the 2JZ engine have resulted in its choice among performance enthusiasts. It is built with a heavy duty frame and structure which ensures it can take all the stress for cranking up weight. That means that owners — you know, the track rats who feel the need to push their cars hard on a regular basis — won't see their Camaros behind a tow truck as often. Second, the 2JZ is arguably the easiest engine to get power out of. It's an engine that is very good with horsepower increases and can lay down serious, right-now performance, while requiring little more than a well developed header system, throttle body spaced correctly and a good tune. Lastly, because of how iconic the 2JZ is worldwide, you have an immense network helping to source parts as well as techs that can make numerous such replacement and upgrades. All of these makes owning a car not just easier, but trouble-free so drivers can enjoy the experience to the fullest.
