No replacement for displacement is a crock!

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.

you can mod a V8 and not increase displacement....bolt ons! long tube headers, street cam, larger throttle body, intake and a pair of slicks, for most common new V8's your running 12s, for ZO6'S, and faster V8's your running low 11s! now i can't say shit because i have now added a power adder to my car, but THE ONLY WAY for an imported cars to keep up with stock american muscle, IS TO AD A TURBO! like some one else said, lets take a stock LT-1 and a stock VR-4....pretty decent match up, low 14s, high 13s, or even better for some freaks! now the VR-4 has twin turbos, LT-1 nothing, including POS stock intake box.......slap a twin turbo on a LT-1, and see what your results are, VR4 car lenghts behind.....now stick a 3000GT SL, up agaist a stock LT1, same thing, 3000GT, is not where to be found...DISPLACEMENT WINS!! yeah a turbo is a replacement, but take each car in stock form, 97 WS6- 00 honda civic...do the SAME EXACT MODS to each car, well more or less, turbo, cam or cams, headers, exhuast and so on, see what happens.......i'm not saying V8's are gods, thats why i'm on this board to learn more about imports and hybrids, so theres my point, NO TURBOS, NO POWERADDERS, NO NITROUS.....lets see what happens!
