good race,havent gotten to race one yet. there was one who wanted to race me but the thing was camming out and sounded nasty and i had a bad feeling about the road, luckily we didnt go cause a cop was coming the other way. theyre is a kid with a STI by my house who i wanna punch in the face and shove his BOV down his throat, everytime i am outside my house cleaning my car or doing something he drives by and makes his damn car sneaze at me i hope to run into him.. He got alot of crap done to his car and mine is stock so we see what happens when i run into him

Evo VIII RS MSRP is about 28K
And for that you could make a trio of Physco DSMs and loose them to the DEA as well.
The whole I could do this on that amount of money is totaly pointless in comparing new cars to cars that have not been in production for damn near a decade. Inflation anyone?
And then some guy could take a 5.0 he got from a truck for $50 and strap it to a 1G RX7 that he found in a ditch with a Ranger 8.8 rear end and brakets he fabbed himself and spend the rest on mods and whomp the living crap out of all of us. Its endless.

I'll just use Evo's as an example as its what I know.
You will not "stall" or "bog" taking off from idle under nomal driving. I hit full boost by 3500rpm so there also is no need for "6000+rpm launches".

Most Evo's unless they are 500+whp have an equal amount of torque as horsepower if tuned properly. So tell me again whats wrong with a 4cylinder with 400hp and 400ft-lb torque?
My car while running low 12's still gets 25+mpg. What does your car get again?
Turbo'd and small displacement motors are geared differently than V8's for a reason, they make very good use of there powerband. I usually am driving at 2000-2500rpm and trust me when I get on it there is no "lag". It spools so fast you don't even notice the 1000rpm's in between. Im not saying that every turbo motor is the same and yes, some of the big turbo Supra's etc. dont hit full boost until much higher in the rpm range so there is alittle lag but they have ways around the lag.
I also agree with the "lock this thread" mentions!

are you even serious or are you trying to be a tool on purpose? I think your just some 16yr old who just got their license and mommy and daddy had enough clams to buy them a brand new F-body, afterwords which you got spanked by some ****** in a riced out civic, so you have to let your "E fury" be known to the world. No one can be this obtuse. Its funny how he has to use the word "ricer" at least one time every post.
If your going to play the dollars game, I could build several 10 second dsms for the price of a used F-body. For budget speed a DSM is hard to beat unless you find a cheap 5.0 Fox body.

First of all if your going to make fun of a car know somthing about it, so what about your LT1 if you want to get started on BASHING cars..........Im sure the LS1 guys would have a feild day with that one.

"So arent LT1s stuck in the 8s? DSMs have hit high 7s and a good amount are in low 8s"
Just where the hell are these 7 and 8 sec DSM cars I want to see them! post some pics, links, and setups! already!
As for my Lt1 It has a very nice mod lists, and no maybe on the net some of the LS1 guys in here can talk ****, but in reality I have yet to loose to an Ls1. Because they came from the factory with 25hp more doesn't guarantee them the win. How can someone honestly loose to the same car? maybe stock for stock yes moded for moded... not happening.

Tell you what - when the season starts back up again I'll take a video of my car launching at 6k rpms and we'll see what happens. Oh, as to how the car can take it? There isnt a whole lot left in the engine bay thats stock. Maybe some of the wiring harness and the bellhousing...
Here's my mod list, just for your own edification.

70% of your mod list was clicks and whistles. Your just naming parts like Boost controller,BOx, intercooler, etc nothing that wold make a difference... who cares. WHy don't you post some believeable technical data. Not some out of the import mag bullshit.
I honestly can tell you I don't know why people with slow cars liek to go around bragging about mod lists. Hardly anybody that's worth racing or has a fast car actually goes around reavaling what thier mods are.

And if you knew anything about cars, you would know that intercoolers and boost controllers DO make a difference. Oh I'm sorry, it doesn't matter because its not in an F-body, my bad. All Hail the F-Body!!
Wait heres another one...

That's a pretty fast car, but I mean it's not like you'll see a guy driving around in the street with a Parachute hanging off his rear deck. like I said beofore it's a rareity.
