Ya, this thread sucks

Although I did get a good laugh out of the kid that doesn't think 600hp is alot. He really must know his stuff giving us lessons on how it takes more fuel to make more power. Who would've thought?

and fast cars dont get good gas mileage, it takes more fuel to create more power.

thats the whole point of more displacement, turbos, nitrous, superchargers, injectors, so on and so on. more fuel + more air = more power.

I have a friend with less than 7k into his 4 cylinder, and he put down 417awhp. With higher octane, and raised boost, he could put down more than 456...

Muscle head freaks make the mistake of making an assumption that imports cant get a lot of power at a low cost. I've seen a SS camaro with $19,000 in it, and it only made 485whp.

Again, it's all on the tuner (owner of the car).

This thread sucks, close it already Chris.
