2007 srt-8 charger vs EF civic HB
i had such mildly high hopes, and then i continued reading
yea, it is the easy way to go fast. its nice to build a 10 second car for what you would spend to make a turbo kit that will put you well into the almighty 300hp range. i spent more to make a damn CRX go 12's then i spent on any of my V8 cars to go 11's. so, yea...ill take the cheap, small genital route...atleast im playing the game with a big stick.

anyway, kenny, you know you are wrong. you can put a CRX into the 12's for under a grand. you seen bigbadbuicks friend do it. shell= $300, d16 = $300, nitrous = $300. i know you know neal sutton, i know you've seen the k-series rex hit 11's n/a. i also know you've seen a supercharged LT1 get shitty times consistantly. its cheaper and easier to get low #'s than it was back when NSX/CRX/hybrid had his fully body kitted CRX. both v8's and 4cyl can go fast for cheap, so thats not really an argument anymore. i'd think you'd know that better than anyone in this thread. you know more about both types of cars(v8, 4cyl) that most people in this thread, you should realize the benifits that both cars bring to the table, and not rag on one type of car. besides havent you owned more imports than domestics?

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.
its usually not about those things anymore. you can make both types of cars fast for very cheap. i think the whole thing is that people get a bigger sense of self accomplishment from building a small engine to compete with with bigger engines. but i understand the whole domestic side of the argument as well. with the import craze, with american automakers failing to make their mark, with everything working against american muscle, they feel the need to defend what they love. it used to be ford vs. chevy, then import vs domestic, then v8 vs 4cyl. next its going to be gas vs electric. we'll be on the same side eventually.

I'm sure the CRX worth 300 with a motor for 300 and a 300 dollar nitrous kit was a GREAT car, too.
Okay, you can make a bucket of shit run 11s for a couple of passes before it goes boom for under $1,000. To do it PROPERLY and so it doesn't look like a redneck hack job it costs a bit more. I don't think Deacon is wrong.
BTW< by the time electric cars hit the performance maket they'll bear a striking resemblance to the nuclear powerplant on wheels that set the landspeed record. They'll completly and utterly decimate and ICE vehicles we can put out.

i think that there will always be an immortal battle between which type of car is better, and everyone is going to get all pissy trying to prove their side of the argument. its always going to be domestic vs import, 4 cyl vs 8, 2 door vs 4 door, right hand drive vs left hand, etc. its actually kinda pointless to argue about it, as both sides have equal pros and cons. i say just stick with what you like most, and get over it.
oh and btw, imports rock

and whats with all the sarcasm on TR lately? a 12 second honda beat a 13 seond charger srt8, and bunch of people who are probably slower than the honda are calling the story false, trying to start shit. we got the sarcastic nissan fanboy ragging on hondas every chance he can get, yet i've never seen him post a war story to back up his mouth. all of us who actually run our cars should respect each other and stop with this childish bullshit.
