Or you could take the turbos off the imports an give them 4 more cylinders. Either way, it is a silly arguement.Fargo, what do you have?
Which was kinda my point inthe first place. You can't really compare the two. I personally think its pretty impressive to take a car that is primarily designed for rally yet still can run w/ the big v8's down the 1/4 mile. I'd love to see an SVT in stock form run around a WRC style rally....you do see stock (near stock...have to have cages) run the rally stages however. So to be able to be such a versatile vehicle I think thats a HUGE advantage of owning an import such as an EVO or WRX or STi.

make sure to give your car a pat on the back for me then. -

i think its funny that people with their 300hp N/A motors talk about boosting them and making a ton of power...they forget the fact that most of those motors are high compression and not built to take boost...
You also need to realize that high compression motors can make a TON of power of low boost applications. -
This is getting dumb you guys...
There are many routes to having a fast car, different cars for different people, just becuase one person goes at it a seperate way doesnt mean you have to hate on it.
Import and Domestic guys can be cocky and thats what makes them incompatible...
I think everybody just needs to realize that, its not how you go about it, its the end result.

yeah if it flows enough...personally id rather have a lower compression stock FI motor that was built from the factory like my 4G63 so i can bolt on a huge turbo some top end shit and be damn fast...but thats neither here nor there cause i personally love the sound of a revved v8-v10-v12 or even v6 just as much as i love the sound of my turbo spooling and my bov in between gears

BTW, I have no probs w/ domestics. I probably own/co-own as many muscle cars as anyone on this board. My personal favorite is my 71 Charger w/ an alcohol burning 383, triple deuces, Dana 44 rear end, etc, etc, etc.... I have nothing but love for muscle cars. Actually, I have nothing but love for all cars. I just get a little defensive when I see people trying to compare $35,000 to $22,000 cars (I know...evo and sti cost around that 30k mark too)

haha. Your joking right? Obviously you dont know how fast tjamz car is. and in a $ to $ race, he would kick your ass hardcore.Whoaa....I'm not saying my car is super fast. It's a LOT faster than a stock auto wrx, but still nowhere near super fast...though I think I could keep up with any car on that list as it sits right now. If I go 12.5 with my current setup I'll be happy, if I can't get to 12.5 its bigger turbo time.
