the question itself is flawed the reason v8 guys get so pissy about little honda's is...

a honda with 3million dollars put into it will not beable to run with dragracing v8's period. there is absolutely no such thing as a 4cyl that can run under 6sec 1/4 (not possitive but there is a number which 4 bangers cannot seem to get below while the v8's do it all day long (yes there is also a limit to how fast a v8 can go as well but it's much faster than the limit of the 4))

also cuz if your driving around in a v8 mustang or camaro and your constantly confronted with dumb kids trying to race you who have NO chance of beating you. And if they are capable of beating your v8 yer pissed cuz some punk kid just beat your ass with a 4banger.

Another reason any v8 stock has WAY more potential than a 4 banger especially a honda. if you have a S2000 and 100hp/L where do you go from there (yes you can obviously get way more horsepower but not n/a). where as a 94-95 mustang cobra has 49hp/L It has much more potential for improvement. you put an i/h/e on a mustang and your gunna get REAL hp gains (40-100hp (estimate))

they cant do donuts can't go sideways on the launch they're just to easy to control and drive. (cuz they have more susp/handling then they have power. and even if they have nasty power it's going to the front wheels which is easy to control)

the biggest of all though is torque. honda's and most other 4 cyl's just don't have it. also unless you got a type r you have no lsd. this makes for awful easy pot shot's about our pirate burnouts (peg-legged). If you can even do that I know i can't 93 civic ex with i/e
