obviously people who shell out that kind of money arn't on a budget, so that's kind of a lame argument if you ask me (comparing prices)...vettes just have an expensive aftermarket
why spend money on an evo when you could get a fox body 5.0 for a grand, and run 8's after a few extra thousands???
bottom line 1,000 HP is 1,000 HP..doesn't matter how you got there...although there's nothing sexier than a 427 twin turbo

I hate this kind of ****. I like the SRT4, I love the new vette, the vipers, the european exotics, and no one can find fault with the last two years of the SVT Cobras (or the SS Camaros....)
I wouldn't mind having an SRT-10 TRUCK, for God's sake - if a vehicle is awesome - it's awesome.
I guess I just wish people would quit with the BS.

Totally agree..
Yeah so i would like to find the dude i raced in the c5 a couple weeks ago and let him read this and say what he thought. It problay be along the lines. That lancer is fugging fast. Anyways my 350 ferria will smoke everything........................................ ..............................I wish
And the point of this post is? The thread was started on that board a year and a half ago.
Don't get so defensive over a bunch of Pushrod Punks.....just show them what our little "4-bangers" can do.

So I read the argument, and all I have to say is that they have no respect. I understand that American muscle carsare powerful, and very dominant in drag racing, but in autoX and what not...come on. I have always loved cars and I try to view each ones specialties, but people being just plain ignorant a$$es really gets me going. I wish that those die-hard American car guys would learn to respect all cars, not just those their dad's lived by.
