"Supra cost $40,000......SVT Cobra Cost $6,000 less......
THE SVT COBRA IS FASTER AND IT COST LESS.

Give me $6,000 extra to mod the Cobra and it would smoke the Supra REALLY BAD."

i paid 7100 for my GSX let me have the next $32,900 in mods and i will smoke both of them. obviously if you put money into ANY vehicle it can be fast. its all in what people want to do. do you want the challenge of building a light weight 4 cylinder that is fast, or go for displacement and build up some domestic iron to go fast. in the end we are all trying to do the same thing. GO FAST. it doesnt matter how we get there. i wish people would get there heads out of their asses and realize we are all building cars because thats what we love. it shouldn't matter what we build. and if someone is talking shit race. that should be the end of any debate. my

I have only read the 1st page and dont know if this was said or not yet but just incase it wasent. you also have to rember about your corvette you are paying more in insurance and gas so concider that also in the cost of your car vs a eclipse. Also i bet ya any money that the mods for the eclipse are more readly avaible and cheaper. Like headers and crap like that.

my american this, my european that, my asian whatever...

bullshit ...

ive seen
a chevy Blazer run 9's in the quarter,
a Lexus rip apart a mustang,
and a Cobra and a TA race and no one watching could keep up,
everyones scared of old Chevy Novas and I have seen a Mitsu VR4 that could outrun most cars backwards...
every people, manufacturer, and age has fast cars

Engineers are smart as hell. They know lots of math, and lots of information. Combustion Engines! Honda, Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Mazda,
American, European, Japanse, Chinese, lives in Michigan, lives in Germany... they all know how to make cars and how to design them. Some people made this first, some people made that first. We all enjoy fast cars and car companies enjoy money. They may not make them for speed to make their money, but they could all make them faster than any of us.

Engineers from one car company and another don't go out in the street and fight, in fact many have worked for Honda then later Ford, or Chevy and then Toyota.

No ones in the dark age and no one is super enlightened. No one makes things bigger cause the other can't, or lighter cause the other can't. Its all preference... all are similar and different. All can be fast.


DOHC isnt something new, Turbos were originally made for planes to reach higher altitudes, blow thru a straw and it will force air into your drink.

Everyone can be happy and compete without being assholes. We all know methods and prefer different things but all know the same. If aliens land on earth with 400000 HP 30 liter engines or 400000 HP 1/2 Liter engines whats the difference. We will all maybe get together and quit being assholes and race them. Or maybe they will come to earth with 40000000000000000 Liter 1 HP engines and everyone will still be assholes.
