lol...you guys both make valid arguements in my opinion...the reason I started tuning 4 bangers rather than continuing to rock the old 70 charger or my 79 stang was because a 650+ horsepower 4 banger is more drivable on the street than a rwd v8 with the same thing...n/a cars tend to have a much quicker pickup on torque and power than turbo charged engines...simply because it's all motor and has nothing to really spool. I wanted a fast car I could drive when we get those crappy half ass rain drizzles that wet the roads just enough to bring the oil out of the pores of the asphalt...and as long as I make a conscious effort to mind the throttle position my car will stay around the 300-350hp range without spooling into tire melting madness when road conditions arent perfect.

Manufacturers first started turbo charging small displacement engines when emissions control became the governments whipping boy. It yielded similar potential power and in most cases...more power than the buckled down v8's of it's time. Now adays I tune 4 bangers...not because I should...but because I could.

Looking at your stang I know that's nothing I want to compete with and if you had a few more grand to toss at the engine you'd be well beyond my dsm...like other wordly beyond...but it's still funny spanking a stock svt cobra from one red light to the next just to roll down the window...smile...and say 2 liter before I'm gone again.

I just enjoy engines period...large or small displacement, doesnt matter...you can make them both breath taking in their own respect.

To me? this is more amazing than my 4g63t - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mutb7KgA9NM
