Don't bash on all 4cyl, liek i said before i respect anything that is well built and doesn't look liek trash. trust me i know plenty of 4 bangin hondas and mitsubishis that can tear most people a new one. yes i agree most altezza/euro whatever you wish to call them tail light look just straight out silly. but that it where the line gets drawn . When your car turns into a rice mobile instead of an import( yes there is a difference ) thats when i start to dislike their car.

im talkin about the LT-1`s that came in the vette`s back in the early `70`s. the buick roadmaster that i saw parked in the garage was a completely modified, $$ no object type of vehicle that is probaly OOAV that if we all had the $$ we do what ever we want so we could  and look good while we do it. OOAV= one only actual vehicle

Roadmasters are not dogs, for a big heavy car they move pretty good.

My God I ran that track right after it opened. Used to have a "I'll ripe your trans out" dip right after start line. They ran some blowen Chevy II's out there and ate the strip up. They jacked them in the air and took them to 8 grand. Then they kicked the jack stands out. Hope they did some work on it, it was junk.

4, 6, 8. It doesn't matter. As long as proper engineering went into it.
GPs don't need street cred. They are sleepers. They race, many win, and then they go to red lobster later that night.

I do agree there are some nice 4 cyc out there. My friends Integra ...has a ton of work put into (turbo v-tech)it and is really nice DCP, but I guess I was more speaking in a generality. At Least where I live most of the suped up 4 cyc are junk cars that kids go on ebay and buy a "turbo muffler."
Funny story about that, back when I had a v6 LeBaron, a friend and I were racing back home one day both going over a hundred. We pass this Camary (We had both seen it before) twin turbo mufflers on the back, no turbo 4 cyc, full blowen body kit. The thing had no chance when he tried to catch up. It was funny.
That LeBaron was a fun car, too bad tranny blew out. Dang chrysler trans.

You know GP is the best "bolt on" car ever built. How many cars do you know that you can spend a couple bucks, bolt a part on and pick up 20-30 extra HP. For the same money, rice burners get a loud muffler.
