Re: V-8's RULE

Dont doubt me, i'd rather have a V-8 but its still fun outrunning V-8's with my V-6. I've gotten a couple LS1's and LT1's at the track. They were pretty close to stock but I still outran them!

Re: V-8's RULE

I just get tired of the v6 power argument. "its too easy to get power out of a v8, its more impressive to see a 10.99 v6, v8s are compensating....."

1 more displacement = more power. You dont have to blow it, spray it or put every bolt on to get good power if the v8 is built right.

2 a 10.99 v6 is impressive, but any fast car is. I saw a 9 second civic and was impressed. get over the size of the engine and look at the speed.

3 people with civics more than likely say a camaros are making up for something because they only have 4 cyl. You buy what you like with what you can afford and drive it with your own style.

Basically put what I said in the last statement. drive your car and like it. v6s are fine, but are harder to get big numbers out of. period. Keyword harder.
