Yeah but what if that ricer cant clear a tech 9 road in a class 3 lowrider? What if your class 47 truck cant roll over a series 4 rock? Think about this before you open your phase 3 peer mediator

If I had a choise I would not buy a dodge or a gmc or anything from north america. Instead I would prefer a

I recomend to anyone who likes cars to try watching a british show called Top Gear. If you have never seen it you are relly missing out. It puts NA car shows such as car & driver to absolute shame, If you feel like trying it out I recomend you try the May 16th, 2004 episode of top gear, it should give you a basic idea of what the shows is about. Fairly big downloads (300mb) but by far worth it. this is the site that you download them from, it requires bit torrent to download the episodes http://gear.viper007bond.com/downloads.php

man all i care abourt in a car is if it has some pickup for getting on the highway and efficient gas mileage. fuck the rest

[quote="Short Hand":4cdf0]im talking about a performance car negine, not some truck engine. Japenese trucks suck shit. If you want a truck buy a fucking ford. If they built a real performance v8 i assure you it would rape any american muscle on the market. The fact is the Engine in the Skyline is pure perfection in engineering, while these truck engines are hastily readied and designed in comparision. Were not tlaking about trucks here, lets tlak about a performance car one. Which they haven'tbuilt yet so its really hard to say. But when they do I assure you it will shut your face up.[/quote:4cdf0]

I was talking about muscle cars. And what kinda engines went in muscle cars? What kinda engines works well in trucks? The same. Large displacement which equal LOW end torque. My old truck (71 Chevy c-10[1/2 ton]) had a 402 ci v8 (the direct decendent of the 396). Modified extensively. It gave me about 450 ft-lbs of torque, all availible near the bottom end of the rpm range(about 2000rpms). That much torque being availible so low means you don't have to have fancy close-ratio transmissions. It means you don't have to keep the engine pegged to keep the speedo spinnin. And that means reliability.

Now all that was talking about a truck engine. True, but the fact is that those early muscle cars (1965-73) used truck engines. They were sometimes, (in the case of "sport" models like the SS, RS, and Boss) even MORE powerful and torquey. And if you wanted more, all you had to do was bolt on better headers, intake, carbs, ect... Hp is a number taken at the flywheel, it means next to nothing. What turns the rear ( Rear > Front) wheels is torque and how readily its availible.

I can drop 6,000 total on a supercharger and some NOS and be pushing around 400 HP i wouldnt even have to spend 24k total on everything including the car itself!

stil pick, the fact is when the Japenese make a performance v8 forcars, which will be awhile, it will smoe anything out in NA.

i have a subscription. Who knew the BBC could put out a good car mag. biggrin:

Short, I know why you've got over 4000 posts, your always posting like 2 or 3 times in a row. Read all the posts before you reply, it would make things smoother.

Ill admit, some ricer stuff is at least clean looking, but everything on that site is godawful and couldnt look any worse. Sometimes you have to ask yourself " should I wait to put on these ricer perforance parts"
