Of course, all bets are off if you are sitting behind the wheel of an old lightweight RX2 or RX3 with a wild 13B bridgeport or peripheral port with a massive donwdraught Weber carb hanging off the top...who needs a turbo! :w00t: :driving:

I should scan some pics of my old rx2 coupe. Ran 10.2 13b extend port T04 garrett, 55 weber. Was quite nice, but lethal.


As for the lancer crap, i knew you were talking evo's, but i thought the best anyoen pushed out of them untouched was 13.5, i could be wrng, but in all my visits to street nights in both mel and syd, i am yet to see a standard evo run sub 13's

My brother has a lightly Modified Vl Turbo.
I love V8's to death. But honestly I havent seen a LS1 or LS2 keep up with it. On take of the V8 was straight off the line. Once we caught boost. Cya Later mate.
Between the two motors there is no real comparison.

The look on the Drivers face when a 20year/Technology old car has just munched his off the show room floor LS2? Priceless :)

Even though Turbo Cars are usually alot quicker. I would prefer to own V8 without blowing turbo's or what not every couple of months.

Thats what I hate about Jap rice cars.. Without their precious little turbo, they're nothing more than an average family car with a 2.5L or 3L engine.

V8's have the raw power and tourque to make me want one :D

I may not know much about cars but I laugh everytime some young kid drags my commy and all you hear out of his PoS is a Pissshhhh and something rattling in his fart-pipe.

cheers

If its only "lightly" modified then its not gonna be that quick.

Got a 1/4 mile time?
