They seem to knock the turbo 4 Cylinder engine because most of them don't know anything about them'
I'd put my SVO up against most any v8 with about the same money spent as i have.
I should be deep in the 11's by the end of the summer with my crappy weak or only good for economy 4banger.
Let's play V8 guys I want to hear your opinions.
And it's not that I like v8's either
I have a blown 5.4 87 Vert tranny swap 9" the works.
Apples to apples as I've heard
I'd always take an SVO the V8 cars are a dime a dozen
Rarity comes into play very much.
My Turbo Coupe did not hold a place in my heart like the SVO does.

that's because nobody bought them. they were more expensive than the GT, had alot of problems in the first production run, and fast 4 bangers, even turbos, were unheard of back then. so basically, it didn't appeal to anyone.
I like my turbo coupes, svo's and xr4ti. Had a 86 xr4ti that would smoke most v-8 cars i came across. It was pushin 32 lbs. Mind you the stock svo's tc's and xr's came with 15 lbs. so gettin em up in the 20's and 30's isnt that hard to do. I challenge any street car from 25-160(mph).
they just cant even comprehend the thought of a fast 4 cylinder
i've got an XR4Ti, TC ranger, TC mustang
the ranger is heavy but should still be in the 12's, in the middle of an all out buildup on it
the mustang is mostly stock and will hang with an LS1
the XR....sits in the garage

a 4cyl can be fast, but it takes a lot more money and in my opinion 300hp in a 4cyl doesnt feel like 300hp in an 8. It doesnt seem to give you the same kick back but thats just my opinion. also i don't like the sound of a 4cyl and the look of 90% of them. but if you like 4 bangers drive em.
