    lexus doesnt look that fast. but i understand where you're coming from about these rednecks and their "muscle cars". I've seen a lot of old timers talk like their stock iroc z was the fastest car on the planet.

    conversation usually goes like this...

    "what size engine that rice burner got in it"
    "2 liter"
    "2 liter...... shiiitttttttttttttttttttt my maro got a 5 point seveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"

    Yeah i was talking to a neighbor the other day with a bone stock rusty pos el camino. He kept talking about how fast it was and beating kids in hondas. Was trying to pick his brain and he really didn't seem to know shit about modding cars.

    I said, "believe it or not that supra over there is actually pretty quick" and he brushed me off like i drove a golf cart.

    Sure there is "no replacement for displacement", but it is a different matter in how efficiently you use the displacement you have.

    Before the days of turbos being cheap and readily available, the "my motor is bigger than yours and therefor must be faster" assumption was probably a lot more valid than it is today.

    Or, slap a turbo on a 5.7

    I do admit though, I'm a domestic guy and I've heard plenty of the folks like Sinfix mentioned.
