Its not about the performance potential of those turbo cars mate, the potential is HUGE. For me though its all about style and those cars (for me) just lack any sort of style at all, Im a muscle car nut is all, its just the way I am. Im really just stirring in that Jap Car vs Muscle Car way.
Though as a factual thing 600hp from a turbo car is an expensive thing, not so for a big block, 600hp could be achieved with "relatively" little expense, and yes before you go on I am aware of all the weight disandvantages etc. but the SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!! PHWOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Shakes fist*
Hopefully that clears things up.

Re: And the race was on!
but wots it cost?? to get a car that MAY beat a bike, ud have to spend 20 or
30 times as much money (for a stock car)...seriously a decent 10sec drag car
or quicker would have to set u back at least 2 or 3 times as much as a new
bike...they did that test in europe, compared a $18000 gsxr1000 to a heap of
street cars as u would buy them, and the only cars that would go close were
like ferraris & shit worth $300,000 etc..

It is far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even if chequered with failure, than to take rank with those who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, as they live in grey twilight that knows no victory nor defeat.
