Power to the front wheels vs. power to the rears is a huge difference.

But isn't that how alot of domestic V8 owners consider 4 banger guys? Not saying I'm a V8 fan...but...ya know...the money spent on a 4 banger...in some instances would make alot more sense to dump into a car that's twice as fast stock... ::flame suit on::

If you look at it in the long run, fast cars are fuggin' expensive no matter what you start with. Pushrod V8's have to spend money to fix the inefficiency of pushrods, we have to spend money to overcome our low displacement, and in the end everyone has to buy slicks to put the power to the ground.

One big, happy family.
