That's one of the problems with tuners... they do have fast cars, but they think that a modded 4 cyl engine is going to beat a modded 8 cyl engine. Just ain't gonna happen. A modded 4 banger could take a stock 8 though.

I don't know if they're faster, my Nova was rated at 835 HP on the stand and around 735 at the wheels, it'd do mid eights in a quarter mile. I used to have so much fun with this car 'cause to the casual observer it looked and sounded terrible, (black primer and the typical "cam-lope" plus the whining of the blower and the gear drive). Took an 83 Corvette one night street racing, over a two and a half mile stretch, by almost a minute. Scott A. Stewart, Web Application Developer Engineering Consulting Services, Ltd.

Although some of them don't feel fast and that can be a problem. The great thing is, though, that you can buy a $30K Evo 8, put a few grand into it, and rock corvettes, ferraris, etc. Some of these cars have 500 whp and higher. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:168833 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
