I can assure you, I am not ignorant-and yes, 4 bangers, twin rotors, in-line sixes all have the ability to beat a V-8 given a lot of different factors-mainly with some type of power adder or a really excellent power-to-weight ratio. I am speaking from personal experience, and have been racing for 25+ years.
Now, I have seen some pig V-8's you couldn't beat into the 14's-heck I've owned some! Depending on model year & weight-some V-8's are not worth their weight-especially since some 4-bangers are making as much HP as some 80's-90's V-8's (though not the torque).
What I am saying is I haven't seen many-other than the holy Asian trifecta: Supra/TT Rx7/300ZX that are really dangerous on the street (and they are not made anymore). Serious cars that are inexpensive enough to mod to the stratosphere at the expense of low end drivability-but still put out massive numbers.
Personally, I like cars-anything with personality I dig. Got nothing personal against "Ricers." The ones in Miami rarely Fuck with me-and I don't mind showing them what a real world class sports car can do. In fact my two big "rice runs" both TT RX & 300 ended in friendly conversations on mods, etc.-and I've been to both of their houses!!
Whatever bro-I've never lost to an import, but I know there is a possibility. Power to weight is a pretty fast and solid rule to the 1320...just haven't seen it yet.
But I guess these guys better hurry-b/c I'm going in for a head & cam job that should net me 480-500 flywheel HP. All throttle-no bottle
And will avoid "Sully" like the plague!!

i judged you wrong and i appologize, you sound like a pretty good guy, as for habib, he can keep queefin'. if you make it down here sometime though, id like to see you race Joe, he is a dsm guy, 94tsiAWD, he is making ~450whp i believe, he is running low 11's, i think it'd make for an interesting race. and i dont have the mentality that my car is god or anything, i know i can and will get beaten, i got beat by a camaro SS tonight so that just proves it. but as long as i have fun, its worth it.
