Starting to look at new car options (1:1)

+1^^^ lots of jap cars are pretty reliable,if you get into a good price range (25,000+) but so do american cars which defeats the purpose of buying jap econo car,i guess were just not into building noisy tuna cans with crotch rocket engines ;D .just get something turbo V-8 powered,perfect power to weight ratio and easily upgradable.--josh

This is funny actually as i love my american muscle.

honda in fact puts out more hp per liter than any manufactor out there today. That says something dont it.

Plus why not have the same power as a v8 or even v6 when getting a 4cyl as it cost less to maintain. any way you look at it.

Now say you cant make big hp numbers with 4cyl and than i really get to laugh at you being my eagle talon was up to about 450 hp on pump gas daily driven. And could still drive around in the snow.

you can make big numbers,but from what i've seen 1000hp is severly taxing anything as small or smaller than a V-6,and last time i checked,there wasnt anything that will top a 6000HP top fueler is there? now i have no problem with jap cars my bro has a 500+ HP 240Z with 16 grand on the motor alone, but its easier to make big numbers with a V-8,my 462 pontiac is at 550HP for 2500$,my .02--josh
