Because it takes alot of modding for a little economy car to beat a stock V8. Put the same efforts into the V8, and the 4cyl shouldn't stand a chance.

you can spend about 30,000 (thats a rough estimate from one of my friends that has a nice Z28) on an ls1 camaro, or SS...or you can spend about 20,000 on a little rice burner that has some power adders that runs just as fast.
I'd rather drive the Z28.

now, another one of my friends has me beat even worse, he got his car for 800, spend about 3000 on an engine swap, and his car is every bit as fast as mine if not faster...
There ya go! Get an old 240 or 280Z, motor swap plus turbo, and you'll have a fast ass nostalgic vehicle for $3-5K. A bit more money for body restoration and you can show it too!
