The Fast and Furious poster is hilarious.
The same can be said about V8's. I have seen street leagle Corvette's and Vipers with over 1000hp and tq to match. A few months ago on Ebay there was a 1969(IIRC) Camaro with 1,200 hp.quote:

There's no way in **** a turbo civic is going to eat a blown V8. Not unless you've got the turbo turned high the engine will last for 4 minutes. And even then...unlikely. I don't disagree that 4 bangers can be fast, however, when comparing apples to apples - that is, the same modifications - a 4 banger will NEVER be faster. Not gonna happen.
That is type of attitude that causes alot of people to lose races and alot ALOT of MONEY $$.quote:

When it comes to driver vs driver, the ricer will usually loose too, because usually they have alot more attitude than sense.
