well yeah thats true but what a v8 could do 10 years ago, the 4inline can do it better :shock:

corvette97 01-04-2004 10:02 PM

lol brembo, but i think that he potential in a inline 4 its big, i think that a higly modded evo can beat the crap out of a ferrari, a 1995 mustang or camaro would be killed by a subaru sti, dont be sarcastic brembo, you are 26 act your :fist: age lol, and i didnt said the word u used "ANY" i mean a fine tuned inline 4, but is or not true that a stock evo could beat a "10 year old" v8 mustang or camaro?? :shock:

corvette97 01-04-2004 10:03 PM

sorry if you where not being sarcastic :P

blah 01-04-2004 10:17 PM

lol you guys wish they were bieng replaced. Points to new Mustang coming out, Remembver the Mustang GT runs a 14 stock with such little horsepower, it has about the same actual horsepower as a Evo, not at the crank but power actually put to the wheels, now thats from a car that weighs more, so just think what the extra 30 horses may do, plus 15 lbs of torque. I figure atleast 13.6 or 13.7

O and about the magazine thoughs guys couldnt drive, they got a 13.3 out of the mustang which is capable of a 12.9 easily and even lower with a good driver. Also the Cobra finished like 2 seconds behind the STi on a road course, so now what do you think of those stats.

corvette97 01-04-2004 10:33 PM

well yeah, the cobra is an amazing machine, its really fast bro, but i would take a sti cuz' the sti handles better! the v8 are really heavy there is where they lose some points, but still great cars, and brembo totally agree with you! :mrgreen:

blah 01-04-2004 11:54 PM

No not all V-8s are heavy, look at the Chevy Pushrods int he Z06, it still weighs what 3200lbs?

corvette97 01-05-2004 12:25 AM

well thats right but a inline 4 is lighter than any v6, but BLAH i still love the push, the sound and all about a V8 :wink:

There you said it corvette97, "gas mileage".
And that's something europeans will understand more than you americans. Here a litre of fuel costs about a €/$ .
i dont understand what you tried to say?? sorry

He means that gas and Europe and worldwide is becoming and is expensive, and we all know how thirsty those pushrod V8s are.

Plus in the next few years gas prices may skyrocket.[/quote]

damn these quotes are outta control, lol. I didnt write anything about gas mileage, did I? anyways, you're right my south american friend(lol), I was yacking about new car prices and you're talking about used car prices.
