If you qualify(have 8 cylinders or more in a single vehicle), and want to join, post here.

[Mays]

bahh...6 cylinders with a SC that acts like a V8 :P

[Vette666]

no 6 cylinder acts like a v8 :P

[Mays]

well...that was Pontiac's ad for a while "two big v8s and a V6 that acts like one"...but yeah, nothing sounds like a V8.

[SSCaprice]

WHOA i just remembered...i got a v8! :maliwho:

[5point_Slow]

i highly doubt i'd drive anything :D

[Benji]

Raises Hand ...

[Tibby]

I like the sound and Powa of the V8..But I dont like teh Gas Mileage when you gas it..Although, you are pushing about maybe 300 HP STOCK! W00t! But I have a Four banger...I like the gas mileage. :)

[Vette666]

im averaging 21.9 miles per gallon w/over 400 hp B)

not too bad i dont think, the navigator only gets 10 though, and the dodge averages a whole 4 mpg!

[EVOL 8]

i have a 4 banger that eats the shit out of gas and most V8s...:victory:

[Vette666]

i'll believe it when i see it :P

[EVOL 8]

there it sits in the avatar. :P

[John]

Haha yeah Evo 8 is deadly...but I have 8 cylinders.

[Vette666]

lol maybe i should rephrase... i'll believe that u can run off from v8's when i see it happen. i believe u have a 4 cylinder car ;)

hehe...sallie I would watch out for Evolutions if I were you...4WD and a turbo can certainly make up for lost cylinders. B)

[Tibby]

yeah, i'm still debating of what i should get for my next car. Here are my thoughts of getting: (Evo 8, WRX STi, S2000, Camaro SS, RX-7, Or Acura RSX type S A-SPEC)


Of coarse, it does have to be a stick shift. :P I hate automatics! :thumbdown: NEVER buy an Automatic if you're going to turn your vehicle into a project car. (Most of you already know that by now. I learned the hard way..)[/SIZE]

redshark.. i'd go w/the camaro ss next :thumbup:

[75bird]

yup, I agree with sallie :2thumbsup:

[Tibby]

Insurance on V8 = High... :unsure:

[heavyhitter]

Count me in with 8 cylinders on race day - and each of them just made 275hp a piece on the engine dyno... heh heh heh.

[5.0_RAY]

Wow! 275 each is very impressive!!! Remind me to never race against that thing! :o

[John]

No offense, Sallie but you might be a little to cocky with that Corvette. They aren't the God of all cars...There are alot of "4 bangers" out there that would blow the pants off a v8. I know a Corvette is faster than my car, but the way an STi and EVO pull hard on me from a start...I wouldn't be surprised if they can keep up with a Corvette.

Oh yeah don't mess with a yellow RX-7 if you see it...He might blow your pants off...Actually, I'm pretty sure he would.

[Vette666]

nah.. i dont think my car is the greatest in the world (although i wouldnt take any other car over it). and i know its not the fastest. i just don't have much faith in anything w/less than 8 cylinders. i guess terry is rubbing off on me a little too much :P but its been proven true 99% of the time in real life...

sorry if what i say offends anyone, just speaking my mind ;)

Yea, me too. I don't even know what it is, and that is about what my whole engine makes.

[heavyhitter]

It's our little Mustang... 401" small block Ford. Not much of a street car although it does have valid Arkansas tags and insurance so it could cruise sonic but it's not very practical. Here's a pic of the heart of the her...

[75bird]

wow, i'm not a ford kinda guy but that engine sure looks nice :maliwho:

Its about time we got a V8 club in here....count me in :2thumbsup:

Sweet. What class you run in?

And yeah, i'm sure that you'd also get fantastic gas milage as well. ;)
What fuel do you run?


And you've been added to the list sonicbluegt. :thumbup:

[heavyhitter]

Thanks all! Our car runs in the Outlaw 10.5 class at most events. It's basically a back-half only class that requires you keep the factory front frame rails and firewall - you can change anything behind the firewall. The other requirement is that you are limited to the size of the rear tire - in our case, the maximum tire size is 33x10.5W - believe it or not, this is considered a "small tire", the width is actually about 11.3 inches wide. The trick is to apply the maximum power to this "small tire" which is tough - hence at a racetrack like Centerville, we typically only apply 1300-1400 horsepower or risk looking like a John Force burnout the entire length of the track. It's cool looking but not great for ET's....

Yeah it was pretty weak...
I'm sure that your car isn't stock but never, ever, ever underestimate a 4 cyl...especially AWD Turbo. That is where the C4 messed up. He didn't know what he was against...damn not having my video phone yet. The look on his face when he caught me at the next light was priceless. I just gave a :thumbup: and went about my business.

[heavyhitter]

The only thing our C5 has had any problem with was one of the new 600hp Viper's but I'm hoping our new clutch (and a new set of tires) will help remedy that. Granted from a standing start the AWD's might have a traction advantage against the C5 but 1320 feet later the problem is usually taken care of.

[drewgray]

Mel, you are my hero. You have to run "stock style" suspension in 10.5, right? What is the suspension setup on that bad boy? and is it back in fayettenam yet?

And vette509234580923568, what mods do you have on the c5 (non z06) to be pushing 400 to the wheels.

Hey, Evo, How much is a Used Evo..I might want one. :P I would get a Z06 Vette but the insurance on those are expinsive. That's why I can't have my dad's 400 HP Vette.

:o scary things are happening.

[Vette666]

ive never felt i needed to worry about a 4 cyl... granted i think its possible to be taken off the line b/c i'll just start spinning and won't go anywhere.

i've got a few mods, im not saying exactly what they are b/c that spoils the fun of it. but it's in line for a procharger in a few months. and i'm also looking to buy a Z06 in the next few months or as soon as i get these dang horses sold!

mel.. im in the same boat! my clutch is gone and i need some new rear tires :P

I assure you this 4 cyl will make you think, especially when I add my mods. :)) I too have had a V8 (92 TA) but have never been so impressed by a car as I have the Evo. Again, not tryin to start shit...just trying to open some V8 minds as mine was opened many years ago.

score one for Joe!!!

hey, we need to have an obscure trivia thread...I'll set it up.

[Vette666]

im not trying to start shit either. hey if u beat a v8 w/that car then i give a thumbs up :thumbup: ! but its not for me. i wouldnt hesitate to run w/a 4 cyl b/c the majority of them are absolutely no competition

[drewgray]

All I am saying is your vette does not have 400whp unless it has a different cam in there (I know you don't have FI right now).

[Vette666]

whats FI?

you have no idea what ive done to my car, and i like to leave it to peoples imagination. but yes i have over 400HP :P

i don't think you're the right person to be telling me what my car does and does NOT have considering you know nothing about it or my situation ;)

[drewgray]

FI = forced induction so if you are looking to go to a procharger its a pretty solid assumption that you are not FI yet.

Other than that, I made no assumption as to what you have in your car, but if you are still on the stock cam, I will put money on it that you won't break 400whp n/a.

True but there are also some 4 cyl that would burn that ass. Turbos being the key component. The world has started to open up more to the 4 cyl scene, part of this being due to the horrendous F&F crowd. I used to have your same mindset, so I can see where you are coming from. Most everywhere you look there are people who want to "look" fast in their civic or whatever econobox they happen to be rollin' to AutoZone to get more vinyl decals. Beware of the other side of the spectrum though...there are people like me and many others on this board and others that would love to have that V8 kill on their list.

Why not list mods if you aren't worried. I'm stock as of now but parts are coming...I aim at around 450 hp. :maliwho:......and yes with a stock cam; sorry you do NOT push 400 to the wheels...if so, we wnat to see the dyno sheet.

[Vette666]

well then in that case who says i DO have a stock cam? i mean seriously... like i said, you have no idea and i like to keep it that way :P

evo.. i believe it that there are some 4 cyls that can run off from my car, im just saying they are very few and far between (atleast i havent seen one yet). but i'll watch out for your car ;) and yes im not worried about listing mods like u said B)

i never said 400 to the WHEELS, somebody misread something. not yet anyway but it'll happen very soon

2004 Lincoln Navigator...2000 C5 Corvette...Probably have a nice house, And you want a Z06...Sallie, you're just rich..:P Buy me an Evo 8? ^_^ lol

[Vette666]

lol dont remind me! :P i try to forget about it when i can.. it makes me sad. you know what did it is GM's little skip shift. they said that that thing kicks in at half throttle or lower, and say you're good to go to 2nd (the light never came on).. but then you let off the gas to shift and it gets down to the lower rpms that thing kicks in and tries to push it out of 2nd which knocks the synchos out. and they said if its really bad we'll have to put a whole new 2nd gear in it. but it all could have been avoided if we had unplugged that thing! the guys at Fletcher said to call the number in my manual to see if GM will stand behind it b/c its only got 20,000 miles on it now

[Vette666]

the UPS man just delivered a box as big as i am from West Coast Corvette a few mins ago.. :naughty:

but before it sees my car i do need to fix ATLEAST my clutch. the problem is finding somebody around nwa that will order performance clutches for corvettes. terrys dad warned us about any kind of mail order in case its not shipped properly or there are problems.. then we'd have to ship stuff back and forth which would be a real hassle. so i'm kinda stuck at the moment. the only clutches people will order are the stock clutches or ones that aren't any stouter than a stock one, but a stock clutch won't hold up... :dunno:

redshark.. are u gonna be a small animal vet or a large animal vet? or both?

[drewgray]

Vette, look at a spec stage 3 clutch, it is holding up very well to 650 horsepower in a very nice car from LR. Also, I gathered you having a stock cam because if you don't know what FI is then do you know what a cam is? Just an assumption. Like they say assumptions make an ass of ya. But, I wouldn't change my statement either way.

O yah, and evol8 the stock evo cams are like a 252 or so.....larger cams will allow you to hit your hp mark MUCH MUCH more easily. Look into some 272's ;)

True, it moves the curve up in the rpm band and you can prolly make your figures with those cams too. Its just for all out power get the 272/272 and what turbo do you plan on running? Either way, it shouldn't be too laggy and if you don't like the low end just rev higher :)

[heavyhitter]

Just picked up our C5 with it's new clutch installed - pedal feels softer than stock but wow, what a difference it makes when the clutch holds the power! Now we're in definate need of some tires!!

no we're looking at clutches that will hold 1200hp.. terry wants a zoom or a schafer (i know thats spelled wrong).

i know what forced induction is, i wasn't sure what FI was.. and yes i know what a cam is :P

Not sure what turbo...maybe the Greddy kit or a GT35R. It may be awhile before all that though (just got a new place and getting married in 9 weeks). Mostly I am an interstate driver so either way would work with the cams I guess.

Have you driven a v-8 lately?
No not really...other than my parents Expediton Limited and my buddy's 95 GT...so I guess ya got a point. I wouldn't mind taking the new GT for a test drive though.. :))

yes, if you dont feel the stage 3 will do, go with their stage 4 or 5!

i've got the stage 3, i'll be pushing around 400bhp, its more than enough for that



also unless you've added more than i know of to your car i'd say you're not quite to 400bhp....yet.....i'm guessing your headers and exhaust just came

[Vette666]

ive got a few secrets :P

[96mustangGT]

ive got an 8 :2thumbsup:

[SmokeyTheBear]

you drive a 6 speed convertible vette (not to mention convertibles are a hell of a lot heavier), sure its nice and yes it has a v8, but seriously, stop ragging on the 4 cycs, get over your 8 over 4 you got going on, and if it hauls ass, love it cuz its fast. ever heard of an SVO mustang (that is a v8) and there is a replacement for displacement, its called technology (ie turbos, fuel injection)

[75bird]

I agree with you pseudo if it's fast luv it and if its a 4 cylinder and fast luv it more cuz that kinda means it took more time or money to get it that way but I still don't agree with you on the saying there's no replacement for displacement because all of those things you do to a 4 cylinder (with money allowing) you could still do to a 8 cylinder and make more power. unless your talking about road racing where weight is involved. :thumbup:

i can't get over 8 cyls over 4... its a fact of life. and no, there is no replacement for displacement.

i love my car for a lot of reasons, its beautiful, its fast, and its a luxury car (all in my opinion.. u may disagree). i will never love a 4 cyl, even if it is fast.. you won't get the sound of the v8 that i love, you'll get an annoying one. and it'll never be as fast as a v8 granted u fix that up as much as u would the 4 cyl.

what about the svo mustang?

i'm not close minded, i just know what i like. and its not 4 cyl cars. i admit that 4 cyls CAN be fast, but they will never be faster than a v8 thats modded aswell. and they will never be mean or have the v8 rumble. instead they just make me laugh and want to cover my ears (this is also my opinion so u can't tell me im wrong)

She's really not ragging on 4 cylinders, she's just preaching the v-8 gospel. ;)


As far as her convertible being alot heavier, it's not. The approx curb weight for the C5 coupe is 3246lbs and the C5 convertible is 3248lbs. Given, that's not the case for most convertible's, but with the C5 corvette it is. There was a hardtop model before the ZO6 and it weighed 3173lbs, but i don't remember if they did any weight saving stuff on it like the ZO6.

What about the SVO mustang? Are you talking about the 2.3 turbo versoin made back in the 80s? I kinda lost you there.

and finally....THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT. Period. No ifs, ands or buts. There is only so much air and fuel you can cram into a given area. That's it. That's not saying 4-cylinders(or 5,6,7) don't run good or make power. Just the facts.


As far as the loud 4-cylinder ricers, i can't say much. On my '80 firebird, i have glass-packs with turndowns just before the axle. It's pretty loud and i'm sure some people finding it annoying. However, I do think it sounds better than a 4-cylinder bumble bee. :headbang:

Evol 8 has an awesome car. It would beat my car in every performance category. Then again, my car's 10 years old and cheaper. :P But no doubt the evo is one of the best(if not THE best) all-around performance bargins out there.

And, yea, an Evo can do everything very well, at a bargin price.

vettes got a fat ass lol. (not the girl lol the car, ive never seen you vette so don't take that as a dis or burn lol) and there is no way a vert and hardtop weigh w/ in 2 lbs of each other or am i reading it wrong??

The coupe has the removable center section. It weighs only 2lbs less than the converible...the coupe is the car you see most often.


The difference is 75lbs between a convertible and hardtop model, however, as i said, i don't know if they did anything to ligthen the hardtop up like they do the ZO6.

I read and post on NLOC all the time. Where do you live? I can't say that I've seen to many Red 1 Gen L's around. I know of a couple of black ones, a white one and Stan's red one ...

I think many of you would be surprised that your car is not as light as you think - unless you've actually scaled it, don't go by what your title says, what your door plate says, or what the magazine's say. Scale your own car - you're gonna be very surprised how heavy a street car is. If you want a free scale that'll give you a rough idea, go to Hiland Dairy on 15th street in fayetteville - the drive-on scale is on the east side of the building and the display is on the building to the west. It works 24/7 - just drive on, stop, look at the display and drive off. Don't know for sure if they like people doing that - they use it for their delivery trucks - so I am by now means authorizing you to use their scale.... I just know it's there. Know what I mean?

This is very true. My stang weighed almost 3200 pounds and it's a fox body. I had put on aluminum heads, and coilovers to lose weight, but added weight with sub-frame connectors and beefier suspension. But it does havepower everything and AC...

I see your name is quater racer, what does the L do in the 1/4?

[Don]

I've only taken it to the Midnights in Tulsa so I don't have an official timeslip. My best so far is a 13.22 @ 104. Here is a pic from last year at the Midnights. (btw I did buy a photo from the guy who took this pic)

MEL!!! do you know where I could get a good foxbody stang for a decent price, im thinking of getting a project car arround the years of 83-93

[heavyhitter]

I know where a few bodies are... depending on the work load you want to put into them... they start at about $300 which won't buy much other than a roller that was stripped in preparation for race-car-buildup. How close to "done" do you want one?

[Don Juan]

I would like something as close to stock, with the engine, trany, etc. I want a good 5.0 to build up as my project car and if there is a hatch, even better

[playtoy_18]

Hey quarter we got the same rims on our rides

Yep. Mine are 20x8.5 with 295/40/ZR20 tires on them. Do you have any pics of yours?

[playtoy_18]

LOL,my truck doesn't look good enough for pics.
But i guess it's time to make a small burnout video or something.I'll post it up soon.My beast went to the track for the first time last weekend.best was a 2.29/60ft and 10.3@67mph in 1/8mile.That's on a 4dr/2wd Yukon@almost 6k lbs not counting the 200+lbs of stereo equipment.


I think i did pretty good too,i ran a LT1 camaro both runs and he only had 1sec on me.

[standgeblase]

I have two V8s.

[playtoy_18]
