ATTN: The choad with a red truck talking shit about my situation

[CopyRight]

no... I don't need to watch a TV show aimed to entertain viewers in order to gain any insight of the racing world... especially on the concept of smaller motors vs bigger motors... I've never participated in any type of race... whether it be at the track or on the street, where you ask for car lengths for a handicap. That show is made for entertainment and for bench racers to reference to.

So are you calling me a bench racer? My reference to it was to simply show you a 4cyl motor vs something twice it's displacement size. You seem to have a real big problem with any motor that has more displacement than yours...to be honest with you, even backwood rednecks know that imports can be fast, but they just choose to stick with big blocks. What point are you trying to prove? That you have to spend some money and up the boost to beat a stock 06 Cobra, or a Stock Vette or even a stock Lightning?

Stock for stock, a Evo is not going to beat a bone stock Cobra, Vette, or Lightning.

You just seem like you have a chip on your shoulder againest domestics.

Heh, I enjoy domestics as much as I enjoy most other competition in the automotive world... I just derive extra gratification outta beating cars with motors two or three times my size. The point I'm trying to prove... or rather disprove, is that just because a motor is big doesn't mean it'll out-perform a smaller motor.

I've never seen a stock '06 Cobra yet and know nothing about them so I dunno what to say about that... however, at the track, there's no way in hell a stock C5 or Lightning will pull a faster ET than a stock Evo... both with adequate drivers... especially not an Evo IX... not to mention a IX should be able to tear apart any stock Cobra at the track too. Besides... who cares about stock vs stock? Its not like I goto the track and try to stage against cars with dealership tags.

I don't have a chip or whatever against domestics... beating a cobra, camaro, viper... or beating a sti, turbo eg/ek, or sr20, it's all fun... its just that most big motor people underestimate the smaller motors and assume they have an advantage no matter what due to their motor size.

well, you also have that stigma with turbo owners....they think if they run 25psi+ boost, they can beat just about anything.

I believe, every car has it's pros and cons. Sadly, like we all have it sounds like you have ran into some people that like to criticize anything that is not theirs. I don't necessarily believe bigger motor is better. I also get my fair that i am reminded i am girl and don't know much. I my know everything but I am learning. Some of the latest imports I have seen are bad ass, small motor or not. They may not have the same HP but they are lighter and in my mind quick as hell. At the same time a cobra or even a lightning with some very small mods, chip, pully, intake and you are up to 400 to 600rwhp. But Like I said you can't just look at horsepower or engine size (thought it helps), too much can make it bog and through off a tight launch and in turn miss the 60ft . There is so much more into building a highperformance modified car. You know we win some and we loose some... It is just too bad at the end of the day we can say hey man good race! And personally that is what I liked on that one episode of Pinks in orlando with the outlaw cars. It was the ONLY one that i saw done right! No cry babies or car lengths.
