Default Parish vs Eclipse

I dont think this is a repost, but youve all probobly viewed it from the website

This one is for all you completely and utterly V8 Biased people out there, that say V8 is the only way to go, and everything else is crap

You know Parish's low 10 second pickup truck... heres him racing a eclipse, and the eclipse actually keeps up AND passes him in one of the races

You dont need a V8 to haul ***, Imports can be just as good

10 second in the 1/8th? GST's are slow when stock. A stock Chubby 1500 Sliverado would easily beat a stock DSM....

The truck is a 10 second truck only when spraying, which he wasn't.

Your not gonna see to many 10 second eclipse running around on the street, or 10 second imports for that matter. They are getting pretty dammed hairy and unstreetable at that point.

V8>4cyl. The only people that cannot seem to accept that are people with 4cyl. In the same matter v10>v8, and bigger displacement > smaller displacement.

Its not bias, its simple fact. With a set amount of money the v8 will win every single time, hands down.

Thats not totally true... I know plenty of people with crazy fast 4 bangers My neighbor has an 04 STi pushing over 600 awhp!! It is an easy 10 sec, daily driven car. It isn't possible to say one is better than the other. It just depends on your tastes.

I think ford needs to stop being cheap bastards and actually build big motors... No wonder camaro's used to romp on the mustangs all the time, there motors have over a liter more displacement, and what does ford do to try and bridge this gap? They just supercharge there small motors.. where at the same time.. vettes and such were making the same ammount of HP N/A as the supercharged ford engines were.. sad sad tale

There's a reason why the Camaro/TransAm are dead...too expensive and gas guzzlers up the ***.. they might have bigger larger motors but they are far more expensive to maintain and supe up without breaking the bank. Friend of mine had to get rid of his T/a because it was breaking down and crap. plus it loved gas more than any mustang could ever. But..if you afford to keep one of those then you got what it takes...but mustang are cheap and fast..and respond well to bolt ons..they can be made real fast with little money. and plus they look damn sexy.

haha someone who wants to talk trash and not even watch the video.

A stock 1500 silverado will not destroy a stock GST, sorry but you should learn about the car before you make dumb comments.
