I think anyone that exhibits speed like that on crowded public roads is a complete ass. But i love how when a video of a supra taking out bikes on the highway at insane triple digit speeds, it's ok. But when an American car is going nuts it's not ok to some. Like i said i dont condone either, but there is a double standard.

i never understand why people have this thing against pushrod engines. Isn't the point of technology to make things better? Or, do people just like technology for technologies sake. LSx engines are reliable, powerful and get way better gas mileage than most of their counterparts. It is a win/win situation. Doesn't that make them superior?

Personally, I love pushrod engines - especially the LS series.
