RB26DETT vs 2JZ-GTE — which engine is better?

The RB26 (Skyline GT-R) revs higher, sounds iconic, and has an incredibly strong bottom end — reliable to 600hp on stock internals. The 2JZ (Supra) is the king of high-horsepower builds — the iron block handles 1,000+ hp with bolt-ons. RB26 is better for balanced performance and all-wheel-drive platforms; 2JZ wins for drag racing and big-turbo builds. Both are legends for good reason.
