The funny thing in all of this, is I prefer the LSx engines over the RB/JZ series too, but it pisses me off when people spout off opinions and preferences as fact. > All other factors being equal, it is very simple to determine what car will win. Look at rpm drop and shift points, letā€™s say both cars shift at 7k rpm, revs drop to 5500rpm after shift. Compare power under the curve between 5500rpm and 7000rpm, and the one with more will win. > You want torque at HIGH rpm, you want POWER, not torque, torque in itself does you no good other than makes you giddy that youā€™re being pushed back into your seat. Maybe I should have been a _little_ bit clearer with my statement. Me saying torque over horsepower I did not mean 1000ftlbs of torque to 300hp is okay. Even if I did, I do not believe that is possible. I meant I prefer torque to horsepower. As in I prefer a BBC Camaroā€™s HOLY SHIT feeling to my RBā€™s Woweeeee High speeds woop de doo. You need horsepower just as much as torque. YET torque is more enjoyable. ---

^Thatā€™s fair then šŸ™‚ I like a big V8 over a turbo four (or six) myself, but thereā€™s some small motors that are pretty fun. ---

i donā€™t wanna see their price tag though. arenā€™t those the guys that will take your new challenger, charge you 60,000, and give it back to you with over 1000 horse? but i think iā€™d take the 26. itā€™s nissan, itā€™s nice, and i can put a godzilla sticker in my back window with it under my hood šŸ˜‰ ---
