Sounds like someone has a crush(r u gay) cuz im not into that shit...And ur an idiot...U backed up my point if u could read u would see that.. stock yeah very close, an evo with 5 gs into the motor might be able to run 11's i dont know about with the few items u mentioned though..I think there would be alot more evos in the 11's if this was so..., but it will be def low 12's a jeep with 5g's into the engine my friend will also be low, maybe low to mid 12's(u will see when more are around)...so its a pretty even comparison u ****in shmuck.
And as to that domestic ricer comment, what are u gonna beat me, in? a IROC camaro, that u all ur buddies have...yeah right..

Ummm....if you'd have a look at Marley's posting signature you'd realize exactly how assinine that question made you look.

I've not met him personally or seen his car in real life but after having read more than a few threads about his ride and the work that has gone into the motor/running gear I got five on the Buick, junior...

Yeah, kinda strange comparisons with these 2 rides. I mean it has been said a few times. Your comparing a Jeep srt8 to a evo? No ? who would win that.

With that said I would still take that Jeep over the evo. More my style and they look totally badass!

more of a comparison would be an WRX VS. EVo , now thats a race..... sort of depends on kinda race, rally or quarter....either could really win

Dude, weak.
So, you just want a light, less-torquish motor(even though its DOHC)?

I just don't see why you wouldnt upgrade to better block. Or is this a budget build?

No budget build, the block is stronger than bout any block you can find. Iron block with a main on it. the engine itself will hold well over 1500 to the wheels. Its just nice to put the pushrod guys in there place hehe. I can do more with small CI. Chevy needs big blocks to keep up haha. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

up with what?

Take a overpowered, overweight, traction lacking SUV vs a lightweight, turbocharged rally car and who will win? Now, put $5000 into parts and that rally car will be DESTROYING a lot of stuff in the drag, and at the track. Seriously, Evo's are insane. A local one runs 10's. That seems to be the norm almost with evo drivers. 10-11's in a 4 banger. Makes you big block owners think twice about imports.

*BTW* John Shephard just ran into the 6's with a 4g63 91 TSi AWD Talon. Yes, it is a 4 cylinder running 6's. He has over 270hp PER CYLINDER. I rarely see muscle cars do that.

Ls1 isn't a bb. Ls7 isnt either.

Either way, I still love the monster torque from a BB. I hope to have a nice 600cu engine in a car I own one day.

I'm a huge fan of big blocks and huge torque, but there's something about winding my car up and hearing it run along at 7500RPM that I just love. And the small displacement Indy car and Formula One engines, man, I love to hear those suckers scream along at 15K!

Best day ever, Detroit Grand Prix, then a trip to Joliet to watch the Fuelers! Man, there's not a bad seat in that place.

True. I love the sound of low disp. DOHC V8's.

I still have yet to see a F1 race, but **** I wish I could.
