that's part of what the discussion was about. not comparing apples with apples.
and in defending your blase attitude in regard to Zac's car,you say that because a 383 stroker with lots of other work that had easily double the torque and triple the capacity was more impressive to drive than a worked 2l turbo car,you seriously feel that that is a fair yardstick to compare them by?
that's not apples and apples,that's a grape versus a watermelon.

if all that impresses you is 6L + capacity V8's,maybe you should stick to those.


Justin...

If it make you feel any better I wasn't overly impressed with mine either. Yeah it made ok power, but honestly I really don't think there is much of a substitute for massive cubic inches when torque is involved. That sense of being pinned back in the seat has a huge rush on the senses.

Turbo cars can impress me because the Goblin did. I was suprised with how responsive it was and how well it stopped. Not the most powerful car I have been in, but it performed far better then I expected so that impressed me.

Besides as I said once I realigned my thinking, I think if you dumped Zac's at 4500rpm I definately think it would bring a smile to most peoples faces. Even the thought of it make me smile.
