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:

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.

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!

There you said it corvette97, "gas mileage".

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.
