My point in comparing my car to a stock from the show room car is to say...those guys spent 40k dollars on that svt cobra to have a bad ass car on the street...I spent like...what? maybe 20k? and my car is way badder lol. I fear the older fox bodies more than I fear the new svt's and shit...most people can buy a bad ass car or build one...those who choose to take the harder way usually get more bang for their buck...doesnt matter if it's a I4 or a V8. It's not a bag on any engine...as I stated I love all engines in their own respective classes. Do I think I can build up my 4g63 to compete with a top fuel dragster running a 455 big block? hell no...not even brent rau can compete with those things...but saying brent rau's car wasnt worth it...that's just insane...I say mad props to a 6 second 4 banger...hell...mad props to anyone who doesnt settle for manufacturer grade performance...dont care if it's a geo metro or a hennessy venom
