I have a friend with a turbo modified ‘vette that makes 800 hp on pump gas.

And they will not win a top fuel drag race.
Just saying that these guys are car guys. They are getting the best out of what they like. It may not be for everyone but I give them credit for doing it.
Any engine is subject to failure when pushed.
These guys are no different than the WW2 guys that started the Hot Rod deal. They have a never ending supply of wrecked cars in the junkyards. Motors can be had for next to nothing and engine swaps are the same for everyone.

Agreed, just remember nothing is the end all of anything. When I was on Okinawa, the local car club sponsored (can't recall the name) races. Basically, pylons in a parking lot. Guys would show up with a Skyline or a Fairlady and get smoked by a kid in the equivalent of a Toyota Yaris. The Skyline would crush him on the street, but the Yaris ran rings around him in the pylon course.
Then you have this guy... Cruising through town one Saturday afternoon in my LS1 (slightly modified, no forced induction, no NOS). A kid in a Civic R kept baiting me. Finally we're side by at a stop light headed out of town. I nodded, let him leave and trounced him when I hit second. Backed out about 75 and he did the usual flyby. Stopped later and he asked me if I was blown or NOS. I said NA. He called me a liar as a NA American made engine could never beat a Honda.
I ran across this pic 30 minutes ago and thought, same woman? Then I noticed the nails. But God bless the inventor of yoga pants.
Someone wasted a lot of time in Photoshop making that picture worse.
Too bad she wasn't left footed.
You’re one of those guys that really liked Hustler magazine, aren’t you? Lol
While that's kinda true.. If you spin your wheels you're not moving, so extra displacement is wasted.
But..
On the other hand, I don't see any Toyotas in the winner's circle in the 1/4 mile going against Force Drag Racing.
Front wheel drives can't do this.. . (I remember reading about a guy who turbo'd his Dodge Areis K, it could go 10.5 in 1/4 mile)
(the below is a skyline
all wheel drive and the fastest AW in the world)How fast you want to go......... How much you want to spend

@akmike47 will do that with your dick for 25 cents. He is in stall #3 at the Flying Jay truck stop on Friday nights.

The fastest hondas arent fwd they are AWD these days. comparing an 11,000hp car to any other class is stupid and anyone who knows anything will stop listening because you sound stupid. A FWD Honda was doing 7.58 1/4 mile times over 200mph which is real quick for just “spinning his wheels” with a H pattern 4 speed.While that's kinda true.. If you spin your wheels you're not moving, so extra displacement is wasted.

Any rig that is pulling a sub 8 second 1/4 is cool. It may not be my favorite way to do it, but impressive nonetheless. It takes gearheads of all types.
If you can’t appreciate a 4 cylinder making 2000hp you’re a moron lol. I’m not even an import guy.
10.5 out of a Dodge Aries K? you serious? that's quick as hell for an Aries K... ultimate sleeper if you found a faster Aries K, shoot me the article.
your ability to miss the fact it was an Aries K, proves your own point about sounding stupid
I keep looking for the 'must bow down to your wisdom' emoji, couldn't find it.
actually, the point was, there is NO replacement for displacement, if you want to go fast.
I did find this for you
hell, I even posted a pic of a 2100 HP Nissan and you still missed that so...
Doesn’t matter what the car is anything can be built/swapped to go fast. 10.5 still isn’t impressive anymore10.5 out of a Dodge Aries K? you serious? that's quick as hell for an Aries K... ultimate sleeper if you found a faster Aries K, shoot me the article.

The Honda that runs 7.47 at 215 leaves like it's asleep, they have to slow roll it off of the line. If they could figure out how to get that car to launch without breaking all of the fragile ricer shit it would really be something. It should be running high 5's low 6's if they could launch it.

Technology replaces displacement there’s all sorts of ways to beat displacement. They do it on new cars all the time, that’s a very old fart thing to say.
Idiotic rpms on small engines with turbos beat displacement all the time. Just because you add alien doesn’t make it a large displacement engine...it’s just acts like one.
“What if you take variable valve timing, four valves per cylinder, direct-injection, and many of the other recent technological developments into consideration? Does the fact that the Ferrari 458 Italia makes more horsepower from 4.5 liters without forced induction than a supercharged 6.2 in a Cadillac CTS-V” motortrend
