Re: v8 douchebags
 
Man I love honda's but anyone arguing that they are better than v8's is really just arguing a loosing point. Yes any honda can be made to be tons of v8 cars out there, but thats because 90% of the people that own v8's bought it because they couldnt MAKE a car go fast so the bought a "fast" car. In all reality a well built v8 (usually built by them old folk) will devistate any 4 banger. Again I'm bias towards honda's, I sell honda parts for a living, but I do live in Reno, NV where we have "hot august nights" (the biggest classic v8 gathering in the world) every year. And every year the v8 cars tear up the 4 bangers. I wish I could say otherwise but I'd be lying. A swapped honda is at 2.1l max (b-series).....a swapped v8 can be easily in the 7-8l range.


I guess the best way to prove the 4cyl/8cyl arguement is.......The fastest cars in the world have what? 8cyl and are what??? RWD.....sucks to admit it

I agree, except the fastest/quickest cars in the world with V8's are hardly production engines.

If you think I hate on everything but Fords you obviously haven't been around HMT long enough. ::) I don't think I've praised Ford once in my life.


that came off wrong. whitey, i know uve driven and built some very nice hondas. your red hatch (and all of its turbo kits), your integra, i know yer not a honda hater. i shouldnt have used your's and johnny's names when i said that. people who ARE mustang guys are who i was trying to talk about.

i did not mean to stereotype you guys, it just came out that way, so for that, i apologize

This thread is dumb.
RWD has the advantage of weight transfer from a dead stop.
Power to weight ratios being equal, whoever has the traction should have a distinct advantage.

The arguement (discussion) is about straightline acceleration so who gives a damn about gas mileage or even initial price of vehicle? That's a strawman arguement.

I like tits.

If the car is fast and has been made that way by the owner it deserves respect. Anyone who does not see that is a ------- asshat. I ------- hate this domestic vs import bullshit ::)
