Re: TT LS1 in a Chevy Nova - Nice build-up
I'm just saying in comparsion to modern SFWD Honda cars.
We have four cylinders running 8 second passes in a 'street trimed car.'
Once the domestic street cars get more modern technology for these cars, they'll be faster. Yellow Bullet, most cars are very nice but have silly things like 60-1,t4-67s, manual boost controller, funny ways of pulling timing.
It's not a insult by anymeans. If I had the funds, I'd build a turbo v8 to stuff into something worth mentioning. For now, I dont, so a little four cylinder is all I got.

Id like to see an 8 second street car w/ a 4-cylinder.... vs. I can acutally show you 8-second Corvettes you could truly daily.

Bub.... this was a budget build in a muscle car. Check out any of the 1000+ rwhp F-body and C6Z06 builds etc. They use top of the line tech and have boost by gear setups and all kinds of crazy stuff.

And I'm not getting into that topic with you. It's pointless. RWD>FWD. Duh.
More displacement > Less.
I'm perfectly content with a daily-able 10 second FWD car, IDK but anything that traps over 130 is scary
(edit, actually had time to read the thread. haha. i ordered that exact turbo for my car tonight.

Just go buy a ZR1.... 10 second quarters and 130+ traps off the showroom floor with a 3/36 bumper to bumper warranty and 5/100k powertrain coverage

Then, I couldn't afford insurance.
So, I'll get my satisfaction beating up on one, if i run into one, in my little white Integra. Even if it'll outrun me up top, beat me around corners and looks way cooler, I'll impress my 16 year old girlfriend and thats all that matters to me.

Re: TT LS1 in a Chevy Nova - Nice build-up
Seeing how I made a little over 20 thousand last year and I live with my mom, I doubt she'd appreciate it if I came home with a 100,000 dollar car, IF the bank would sell me one.
