Re: TURBOs!?

I have to aggree with him. There would be a lot more success if people would be more realistic. To get big hp numbers takes big $$$. If you want to get it done on the cheap you have to plan very carefully to do so which next to nobody has. People spend too much time online reading about joe tuner's bs 1000hp dyno numbers and get all excited and start planning out builds that will never happen.

The reality is that the car those people really want is the 350hp car they should and could have planned to build in the first place.

There's a good old joke that goes around the drag racing community: What's the difference between a 500hp and 1000hp Supra? A tenth of a second.


Seriously, bs dyno plots and people talking down reasonable performance cars because they stay up every night reading about mega-builds are worse for the well being of true automotive enthusiasts than $4 gas.
