Because everytime that argument is brought up someone with a smaller displacement motor says something to the tune of "Well my turbo makes up for the displacement". Ok well the guy with the bigger displacement can put a turbo on his car too then what happens. There's no replacement for displacement when both cars are equally modded.
You can't put boostfed's car against mine just because I have a V8 and he has a 4 cylinder. He has a built to the fucking brim motor and a turbo for a semi on that bitch.
That was just an example.

how often do you hear the "when both cars are equally modded????"
i have never in my life EVER heard a v8 owner say that unless they got their ass beasted by a four banger. thats when the excuses they bitch about are heard coming out of their own mouths.
thats a bunch of bullshit that people use as a cop out. i get soooo tired of hearing "well, i could turbo my v8..."
fucking do it. shut your mouth and do it, then come back and ill give you credit for having a fast car.
HAHAHAHA.
I can't begin to tell you how many times I've heard "Well you have a V8 and I have a 4 cylinder". The shit goes both ways bro.
It's not my fault you thought you had enough, but didnt. I give respect where it's due, but don't ever use engine size as a cop out, but yes I see where you're coming from.

The import car manufactuers are at horsepower wars with each other. Every commercial I see is "The all new Blah" "300 horsepower" "It can outperform your car"
Things they leave out
-Out perform me in what? Handling? Sorry, but I'm not going to autocross this weekend.
-You forgot to mention torque. I guess that doesn't matter though?
-Such a nice car with incredible technology. Oh but wait, for what it costs I could put a downpayment on a house.
Things that are stupid
-If I took corners that fast IRL I would be pulled over by John Law in a second
-Nice 4 door family luxury car. Wow that speed comes in handy when I live in an area that consists of 70% roads that are under 30mph speed limit (NoVA)

for real, though, let's just take a step back and look at the bigger picture. sure, your boosted type r is a pretty damn quick car. mid 12s, i think i've seen you post on here? that's very respectable, and i'm sure you beat your fair share of v8s. but think about it- the b18c5 is already a very strong 4-cylinder, i would even go so far as to say it is to the 4-cylinder world what an ls1 is to the v8 world. you're taking that and turbocharging it, to produce about the same power as a stock ls1. and yours runs slightly quicker than a stock ls1 camaro (that would be due to power vs. weight, but we won't even bring that up). do you see where i'm going with this? there really isn't any comparison. and the reason most people with v8s don't choose to turbocharge is 1) it's not quite as easy as fabricating one little manifold, running some tubes and getting more fuel as it is on a 4, and 2) it isn't absolutely necessary to make good power like it is for a 4. i've never seen an all-motor honda make more than 270 whp, and that was an s2000 which from the factory makes over 200.
sorry for the manuscript but i'm trying to make a point in the least abrasive way possible. let's see if it worked...
