And if you wanna compare apples to apples (if thats even possible at this point) take a look into out power adder forums

FI = > https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction-9/

Most of those dudes would sweep the street with my TA, let alone your laser, and I am making significantly more power than you are on motor alone. Of course that is when your on LOW BOOST Right

Moral of the story, wrong site for you to be looking for a race



And about defending the imports, I don't know if you have read the paper lately but this is a DOMESTIC SITE. Not to mention, last time i checked plymouth was located in Auburn Hills, Michigan (read not foreign made) and hasn't made a car since 2001. And BTW, although we are all impressed you slapped a turbo on grandma's grocery getter, FYI lasers were never intended to be sports cars. They came with 190hp and looked like this




Other than that, Feel free to stay, learn, post, and browse but don't get your panties in a bunch everytime somebody makes an import comment.

I'm sure you know that you posted a graph that most of us here would
consider embarrassing.



That would be Camaro, but I'm sure you know that.

and i think he thinks its foreign because its a dsm and powered by mitsubishi. And btw they came with turbo's from the factory. Not tryin to get into an argument, just tryin to help with some facts

Whats really funny as (according to wikiapedia) they were similar to the dodge stealth. My first car was a Dodge stealth TT.
Was decently quick and w/ the turbo upgrade (twin 15gs i believe) put down right around 420 awhp if i recall correctly. was actually a cool car, until one day it became very very very hot






Then I turned ls1 and never looked back.

But there cars either 'just got' fixed or are 'about to break'. And damn, those parts are expensive. Talk about $500 dollar this and $300 dollar that. Pretty soon you just spent more to repair the POS that it was worth in the first place.

I loved my honda because it gets alot of unsuspecting people that dont think a 4 cyl can make power.

Then more power to him! But if he is a dumb know it all, and I do seem to see more of them in the import crowd. Then just avoid him, or publicly humiliate him like I do at the local hang out. They get so embarrassed and leave. But if the kid is willing to sit there and listen and learn something. Then teach him, There was a kid I knew who thought that the exhaust can he just put on his car gave him 10hp. I started talking to him and telling him about how to see any real gains what so ever he would have to spend a little money and get a cat back or a full exhaust system.
