    Or you could take the turbos off the imports an give them 4 more cylinders. Either way, it is a silly arguement.

    Fargo, what do you have?

    Which was kinda my point inthe first place. You can't really compare the two. I personally think its pretty impressive to take a car that is primarily designed for rally yet still can run w/ the big v8's down the 1/4 mile. I'd love to see an SVT in stock form run around a WRC style rally....you do see stock (near stock...have to have cages) run the rally stages however. So to be able to be such a versatile vehicle I think thats a HUGE advantage of owning an import such as an EVO or WRX or STi.

      i think its funny that people with their 300hp N/A motors talk about boosting them and making a ton of power...they forget the fact that most of those motors are high compression and not built to take boost...

      At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

        make sure to give your car a pat on the back for me then.

          You also need to realize that high compression motors can make a TON of power of low boost applications.

                This is getting dumb you guys...

                There are many routes to having a fast car, different cars for different people, just becuase one person goes at it a seperate way doesnt mean you have to hate on it.

                Import and Domestic guys can be cocky and thats what makes them incompatible...

                I think everybody just needs to realize that, its not how you go about it, its the end result.

                  yeah if it flows enough...personally id rather have a lower compression stock FI motor that was built from the factory like my 4G63 so i can bolt on a huge turbo some top end shit and be damn fast...but thats neither here nor there cause i personally love the sound of a revved v8-v10-v12 or even v6 just as much as i love the sound of my turbo spooling and my bov in between gears

                          Basicly it's what you like and/or want thats important. 4,6,8,10 or whatever. You can get the same result from any motor, its the way you get there that people get hung up on.

                            I don't have any problems with imports, I let my wife drive an Altima 3.5 SE.. Nothing wrong with what anyone drives, I guess I was seeing how excited everyone would/can get....

                                BTW, I have no probs w/ domestics. I probably own/co-own as many muscle cars as anyone on this board. My personal favorite is my 71 Charger w/ an alcohol burning 383, triple deuces, Dana 44 rear end, etc, etc, etc.... I have nothing but love for muscle cars. Actually, I have nothing but love for all cars. I just get a little defensive when I see people trying to compare $35,000 to $22,000 cars (I know...evo and sti cost around that 30k mark too)

                                  Whoaa....I'm not saying my car is super fast. It's a LOT faster than a stock auto wrx, but still nowhere near super fast...though I think I could keep up with any car on that list as it sits right now. If I go 12.5 with my current setup I'll be happy, if I can't get to 12.5 its bigger turbo time.
