Enough of the little horsepower pissing match, it's time for the fast cars to have their pissing match.
I'll be honest, my loyalty to the P-motor doesn't run very deep. They are WAY to expensive for the HP you get. The ONLY advantage i can see from a performance standpoint is the weight, and i'm not sure it's as big as everyone imagines (guessing less than the weight of a decent passenger). The SBC is easier to work on, builds more HP easily, lasts longer at the same HP level, and sounds better (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) (subjective i know). You do lose the front trunk, but a 914 is not a practical car to start with, so no biggy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) I understand people wanting to keep the bloodlines true and blah blah blah.. isn't that kinda like in-breeding? please discuss (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving-girl.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif) |

really? that's not as bad as i remembered it. i figured a non-factory engine moved you straight to Modified. all the engine-swap guys i ran with were in E-Modified. (or Open Street Prepared - for the guys that wanted to try to put down lots of power on DOT rubber - but the only guy in my Region that did that seriously owned a tire store. i think it was the only way he could afford to run his SBC (mightta been a SBF...) 240Z...) |
