[QUOTE="MB-AMG, post: 64962, member: 544695"] Okay, It's tough for a 2 valve V-8 to match the specific output of a high revving 4 cylinder, but small 4 bangers aren't the way to get big power. Look at John Lingenfelter's Corvettes. These use the "old tech" LS1 and LS6 engines (superb pieces of engineering by GM). I don't know if ayone else caught the test that Motor Trend (or was it Car and Driver?) did on an 830 hp Lingenfelter Vette. How does 0-60 in 1.97 seconds sound? That's without nitrous or special fuel. Pretty impressive if you ask me. Also, how about Porsche? I don't think many people would consider them ricer cars. Lots of tuners make 800+ hp Porsches. The Gemballa GTR750 Evo runs 0-100 in 6.5 seconds on street tires an tops out at 225 mph. Pretty impressive for a fully loaded street car. I bet it hauls A$$ on the track, too. Just something to think about. [/QUOTE]
