Great, and the twin turbo lingenfelter is only $165,000! Somehow I don't think Al and Turbotrix have spent $135K extra on their 9-second evos... I could be wrong...

obviously people who shell out that kind of money arn't on a budget, so that's kind of a lame argument if you ask me (comparing prices)...vettes just have an expensive aftermarket
why spend money on an evo when you could get a fox body 5.0 for a grand, and run 8's after a few extra thousands???
bottom line 1,000 HP is 1,000 HP..doesn't matter how you got there...although there's nothing sexier than a 427 twin turbo

I hate this kind of ****. I like the SRT4, I love the new vette, the vipers, the european exotics, and no one can find fault with the last two years of the SVT Cobras (or the SS Camaros....)
I wouldn't mind having an SRT-10 TRUCK, for God's sake - if a vehicle is awesome - it's awesome.
I guess I just wish people would quit with the BS.

And the point of this post is? The thread was started on that board a year and a half ago.
Don't get so defensive over a bunch of Pushrod Punks.....just show them what our little "4-bangers" can do.

So I read the argument, and all I have to say is that they have no respect. I understand that American muscle carsare powerful, and very dominant in drag racing, but in autoX and what not...come on. I have always loved cars and I try to view each ones specialties, but people being just plain ignorant a$$es really gets me going. I wish that those die-hard American car guys would learn to respect all cars, not just those their dad's lived by.
