Re: Uncle Ben's should not be this fast... Some people are just too ignorant to admit that a car with a smaller engine might actually be able to beat something bigger. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Re: Uncle Ben's should not be this fast... I know that a car with a smaller displacement can make power it just takes alot more $! and if you do not know this then you are alot stupider than you look!
I do actually like Supras (The turbo variety)
300 ZXs(Turbo), WRXs, and some other import cars.
I do not intend to get into a pissing match!
It is a FACT that it takes more $ or resources to build these cars to be fast!

Re: Uncle Ben's should not be this fast... The fact a car might have a smaller displacement doesnt neccesarily mean it takes more money to build. For instance most imports that r brought to the US r detuned Supras, Mr2, Skyline etc. I happen to own an supra 94 and can assure u i can spend less than 6000 and b low 10's. These motors can withstand 800 plus hp on stock blocks. I know u have seen supras do this so this is a testimate of how durable these cars can be. And as far as money goes how much is a 422 stroker for domestics 15000, 22000 dollars come on with that amount of money you can buy 3 turbo kits all the fuel u need and have left over to do whatever u need. And another point if u want to talk displacement rx7 equivalant to a 1.3 liter has no problem acheiving 600hp which is the same as a 5.7 liter producing 3000 r so hp.

Re: Uncle Ben's should not be this fast... 25psi, please don't turn this in to a comparison thread. If you want to talk about the video, fine. Most people here are aware of the 2JZ strength and it's ability to make tons of power. Present party included... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

When you line up , it's speed that counts regardless how much it cost to get the car to go that fast. I have a TRANS AM, but If an fbody gets beat by a civic, the first thing out of alot a guys mouths is , "well it cost 20,000 to make it that fast" So what. You still got cracked.
Many were not complaining about how much i cost before they got beat. And even if they were, again who cares . I don't prefer 4cylinders, but.. Fast is fast.
