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.

so would you run KB cobra? jw

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.

Are you serious? You think it'd cost you less money to run 11's in an SVO than a Cobra or LS1?

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).

Mr. Merk

i know how you feel man

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

i dont have a v8 vs 4cyl argument but i was wondering what do the stock svo numbers look like. Also what are all you running with your mods

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.

I have a 94 5.0 - but I think the SVO cars are pretty cool. I just like the low down power of the V8... and you can't forget the sound either.
