v8>4cyl
anything you can do to a small 4cyl, you can do to a big CI v8 and make a bunch more power.
the only reason “imports”(and similar domestics like the cobalt, mazda3, etc…) are even remotely fast is they are death traps that weigh 2000 lbs.

Most races (before the ricers came around) when I was growing up in the early 90’s were from a stop. The only races you see now is lame as fuck roll racing because all the 4cyl homo’s can’t hang from a stop, why, because of no torque.

what a fun discussion :slight_smile:
