go to august 2003 issue page 6 article STARTING LINE by david freiburger…  
kinda explains why hot rod mag is looking at imports—not to jump on the quick bandwagon and make an easy buck…but the technology that is going on with these 4 cyclinders and taking that same info and adding it to the big v8 beasts…its learning from one and another…not ricing out the magizine…hence the front cover is a twin turbo 67 mustang fast back…which they say"you can’t deny the benfits whne dudes are piniching 1,000 hp from four-bangers…

a big thing people are forgetin when they compare 4cyl to v8’s is the cars themselves. I’d love to see a 4cyl move my 4000 plus pound GS.

No offense to BJ but people say his car sounds like a v8 obviously never heard a real v8.
