V160/161 comparison
 

hey all i have some questions pertaining to this V161 tranny used in the supra. Was this a JDM tranny or was it used in U.S. production models as well? also I noticed it has closer gear ratios than the V160... Did this make it faster in the 1/4 mile? I assume it's the same build as the V160 with different gear ratios? thx
