Well here's the deal. $ for $ you can get more horsepower out of a NA pushrod v8..any day...anywhere. Take the turbo and nitrous off your motor and you might as well use it to cut your lawn.

Sure there are plenty of fast tuner cars out there..I don't deny that. In fact, some will beat what I own. But to me, all tuners and ricers (yes I know the difference) sound like lawnmowers and I can't get over that. They make go-karts that are super fast, but that doesn't make them cool, nor does it make them muscle cars.

There is no replacement for displacement my friend. That has and as long as the internal combustion engine powers our toys, will always remain true.

Last time I checked, the fastest accelerating cars (Top Fuelers) in the world had 8 cylinders and pushrods.

To each his own. You like yours. I like mine. Doesn't make you wrong. Doesn't make me right. Funny thing is, I see you on a Camaro forum. I have no desire to go on a Supra forum. Besides, I couldn't read the Japanese if I did.
