LOL...ok so now you need to mod a V8 to win? But what about no replacement for displacement. Wouldn't this mean that no matter what I did a bigger displacement car, a V8, would be able to beat me????? But you chose to point out....."a well built V8" sounds like the trueth comes out and it does take mods, not just displacement.


And if anyone who thinks displacement is better......talk to Ferrari. A Ferrari F50, my fav car of all time, is only a 286.8 cubic inch V12. Not a lot of displacement there huh. Yet will still do the 1/4 in 12.1 and top speed of 202. Sounds like Imports still rule.
