Some of you import guys sound just as bad as beemrmem3. Biased and uneducated on the other make.
Guys with slower civics and tegs calling a 5.0's "5.slows". Guys coming up with such lame excuses as Hp/lt and high tech to compensate for their lesser numbers and lesser output. It's funny how everybody compares their "new" top of the line import to a 5.0 from 15 years back.
Viper - 500hp
GT-40 - 500hp
Saleen S7 - 550
Z06 - 405hp
03 S/c Cobra - 425-450hp
Ls-1 ws6/SS - 350hp
Ls-1 c5 - 350-360
And other cars from tuners/manufacturers such as Saleen/Roush/Steeda/lingenfelter
Everyone of those production cars have a displacement over 4.6L. But since they aren't 2600lb 4 bangers revving upto 9k rpms, they don't deserve your respect. Your only reply would be "but they're low-tech". Or "they can't handle" when all could run circles around you.
Open up your eyes people. Some cars don't need to make 100hp/Lt, or revv to 9k rpms to make power. Displacement is an advantage, not the disadvatage some of you make it out to be. A properly built small/big block v8 is capable of making more power then any other production/race engine. There's low tech for you.
Just my .02 cents.
