well i am wondering who likes those lil cars with the 4 bangers in them and who likes trucks or cars with the V8s in them. and i mean trucks that are lifted up or just something regular i don't meam like a truck that is lowered to the ground more too. but if it has a V8 in it, its fine

but i will add the 6 cylinders cause a lot of those are pretty good

You need to clarify something.... Forced Induction or N/A.

If its a 4 cylinder, its gotta be spooling something up....if not, give me a big 8.

a V8 spooling something up is way better then a 4 cyl spooling...

now if we are talkin gas v-8 for sure, but if we are talkin BIG BORES WITH TURBOS and they dont run on gas, Its a close call between the Straight-and the V8

Cats are still there, only b/c i dont feel like dealing with My Check engine light. You can Remove them, and you'll be a hell of alot louder and buy "Dummy Sensors" and it'll be all good w/o a check engine light coming on. If you get pulled over you'll get whats called a "Fix it Ticket" where you have ten days to get mufflers and cats put back on your truck and go up to the court and show them that you have it put on within the ten days...or else! lol, i dunno what happens then :confused:

Please show me how you will shoehorn a V8 into a small car...

You make a statement claiming a forced air V8 is superior than a forced air 4 cylinder... well, it aint worth a damn unless it fits in the car and does not throw the handling out of wack. Not everyone prefers to drive a boat - some actually appreciate a nice lightweight handling car. Driving a high horse powered car does NOT make the car fast!

Making a claim "spooling a V8 is much better than a spooling 4 cylinder" is just a blind statement based on HP alone. There's more to making a good motor than just HP.

Besides, I was speaking about OEM motors. VERY, VERY few cars have a huffed V8 from the factory.

how bout 5 cylinders i have a chevy colorado and its not a 4 or a 6 its got a 220 horse 5 cylinder in it its got alot of power for it to but with the ballon tires when u burn out it just hops not like a normal car or truck where it will just slip and scream mines gotta be dumb and bounce up and down but i have some beadlock rims and tires with some suspension modifications coming to fix that problem.

Most v8 road track cars are NA because they dont need FI to compete with the turbo 4 cyl's. And the comment about driving a boat is a common ignorant *** ricer assumption. The C5R is well into the 9's on full handling suspension naturally aspirated and the C6R is even sicker. 4 cyls NEED forced induction to even almost compete. And dont even talk about on the drag strip. Heres a vid of my friend's stang on low boost (dont judge his driving abilities by this video. These are his very first runs on this setup. He has since gone 10.0 on 13psi). Full interior, Air conditioning etc. 100% streetable. Perfect example is the Civic that barely beats him in the end running at its peak on almost twice the boost of the stang.

So explain to ma again what advantage a turbo 4-cyl has over a turbo v8... or even an NA v8?

And since when done anybody give a fcuk about stock motors?

Ummm I could care less about drag racing to be quite honest with you. Going fast in a straight line for 1/4 mile is not interesting to me.

I can assure you, I am totally against ricers and their way of thinking, however, I'm not as ignorant as you when making a statement that ONLY V8's rule. :rolleyes:

I proved my point about this being a waste of time... I dont feel like turning this into a car A vs car B or motor X makes X number of horsepower. Obviously to you, power is the only attribute to a good motor. To me, I factor in everything else...

Meanie5470
09-29-2005, 06:50 PM
did you not read the 1st half of my post? Im not saying there arent any fast 4 cyl's but I just dont see how you think a good handling v8 car doesnt exist. Late model v8 engines arent that heavy...
