“NO replacement for displacement,”

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.
Apply the same tech to a Hemi....

Don’t blowers and nitrous technically replace displacement? I can have a smaller engine that acts like a larger displacement engine without changing the stroke/bore size of the cylinder.

in UNLIMITED 1/4 mile, the ULTIMATE SPEED TEST. I haven't seen a 4 or 6 cylinder in the winner's circle.
Doesn't matter HOW much Tech you have, if you can't put the HP to the wheels WITHOUT spinning, you ain't winning.
HENCE the reason they have classes at drag strips, to make it fair for the poor guy link
"Technology replaces displacement "
so, show me that 4 banger with all that tech, and go up the these guys with your argument​
cause they might have a difference of opinion. 500,000 for a top fuel dragster. I think they know about tech​

3.623 seconds in a 1/4 mile

Right.
So if you apply 15psi of boost to a 1-liter engine - it acts like a 2-liter engine.
Apply that same number of boost to a 5-liter engine and it acts like a 10-liter engine.
So applying the same technology to a larger engine gets you the same increases in power.

You’re sure jumping all around. I haven’t seen a top fuel car beat a land speed record car over multiple miles either...

You’re comparing apples to oranges they don’t compete with each other.

Compare shifter karts to F1 next, maybe a late model to a cup car.


Hey look I’m you....

“Fuck top fuel

763.035 mph

The current holder of the Outright World Land Speed Record is ThrustSSC driven by Andy Green, a twin turbofan jet-powered car which achieved 763.035 mph - 1227.985 km/h - over one mile in October 1997. This is the first supersonic record as it exceeded the sound barrier at Mach 1.016.

There’s no replacement for jet engines.”

Looks just as stupid.

Also they are still competing with RWD with the fast fwd Honda’s and winning a lot so apparently the powers going down or they wouldn’t be trapping fast speeds. Even top fuel cars have slip, but you would know that....

No I get that, I was making a point off your comment lol

The displacement is replaced with technology.

That technology is certainly an improvement....
And in modern vehicles - manufacturers have been able to replace prior displacement with technology to gain performance and efficiency with a smaller displacement to perform more work. Applying that tech to bigger stuff is fun too.

Yup.

Looks like we still replaced displacement the late 60s and the 70s would cry.

No they don't replace displacement. A 200 cubic inch ricer on 25 pounds of boost is nothing compared to a 500 inch V8 on 25 pounds of boost. Those ricers also do not produce any where near the torque a big inch V8 does. The upside to running a ricer is weight of the drive train, smaller tires so less rotating mass and usually the ricer cars are shit boxes weighing about 1500 pounds. If those ricer engines were they way to go everyone from Pro Mod up would be running them instead of 500 inch Hemis.

Bigger is always better.

No, what you do is take that large displacement from the 60's and 70's, apply some of the new tech - then go start replacing broken transmission and rearend parts!

There you go, Straw Man Argument.
I'm not jumping around. I've stated, no replacement for displacement, is still true. 1/4 mile, displacement is King.
^ there it is,

I've posted several times about the 1/4 mile, showing that Displacement is still king/ IF you can put it to the ground.
You keep moving the goal posts, claiming people are stupid, if they can't recognize the fact that small engines can beat a big engine.

you want to point out that a 4 banger today makes more HP than a 4 banger from 1970, yup, true. On the other hand, an 8 banger today, makes more HP than an 8 banger from 1970.
In the 1/4 mile, displacement is King,.
Can a highly modified 4 banger beat a highly modified 8 banger.. well, let's see what top fuel dragster has to say........
ummm nope.
 
Arguing with @akmike47 is like competing in the special olympics. Even if you win the argument, you’re both still retarded.

What most people fail to realize is, a lot of us do this for the entertainment and winning an argument has nothing to do with it. @akmike47 is not retarded, he is a specialist when it comes to Drag racing. He specializes in tranny mods and other latex apparel.

The only fight I saw (was not a party to) at The Warehouse, in Red Hook, St. Thomas in around 1998, was when Chris Hays told Scotty the bartender that where he lived they used dogs to run/drive deer during deer season. I had just put a dollar in the juke box and Brooks and Dun's Maria started to play way too loud (as they are won't to keep the volume at The Warehouse). I don't know where Chris was from, but Scotty was from Michigan, and they don't use dogs to hunt deer there. From that comment it escalated quickly to shouting and name calling across the bar. The whole place went quite except the two guys shouting at each other and Maria blasting over them both. Suddenly Scotty exploded over the bar, grabbed Chris by his t-shirt and they both started throwing haymakers at each other. Scotty was always the peacekeeper of the place, so we were all just kind of staring with our mouths open at they commenced to whup each other's asses...

Being in the USVI in the middle of summer and watching two grown ass men beat the fuck out of each other over deer hunting methods is probably less stupid than this disagreement on Sniper's Hide about drag racing...

Even top fuel replaces displacement with higher RPMs, forced air, and more fuel huge valves and other technology. If displacement couldn’t be replaced they'd have to build engines with 5 gallon bucket sized pistons.

It’s like you aren’t even aware of how that saying came to be...


I’ve said multiple times just because they both run 1/4 mile it doesn’t make them direct competitors. Also more power doesn’t come from just higher displacement but you very obviously don’t know that. Even gave more similar and just s stupid example she to prove a point.

Also you obviously don’t even know how to use the term “straw man argument”

“A straw man fallacy occurs when someone takes another person’s argument or point, distorts it or exaggerates it in some kind of extreme way, and then attacks the extreme distortion, as if that is really the claim the first person is making.”

The only person taking anything to any sort of extreme is you. no one else took your argument to an extreme or tried to claim you’re making another point, it was paralleled to show the stupidity of your comments. We were talking small displacement high horse power and your little dick syndrome made you pipe up with “muh top fuel! No replacement for displacement!”

Well I am your crew chief.

Also I can get into a tranny, but once I’m there I don’t know what to do. I send my trannies out to you for service.
 
Ignored the evacuation order. Tell that to the insurance adjuster.... Or call it "Lesson Learned"...
Nothing in an evacuation order says you have to take your cars with you. Nothing in any auto insurance policy excludes storm damage from the comprehensive coverage. The house might not be covered but the cars will be and those two cars are worth more than a lot of houses.

We would take light arrows with no tip and barely draw back shooting them straight up and everyone had to stand still and see where it landed.

Fuck kids are stupid lol. At least we knew enough to use a light arrow and it would only shoot 30ft up or so, but damn looking back...

Edit- to be fair if it hit you it didn’t hurt really it was moving slow.

Also rock fights...

Most of those cars are a dime a dozen anyway. Guy by me has a green AMG GT /GTS black series or whatever the highest end one is called, it’s sweet.

Another guy has 3 lambos in his driveway...I hate him, but I’d go to work for him today like wolf of wall street
 
Would you prefer we argue about the Dodge vs. Chevy vs. Ford monster truck thing instead? Because we can do that too.

BTW, @akmike47 drives a Ford.
Powerstokes sound like they are falling apart and those exhausts that just sound like turbo whistle are gayer than 5 guys fucking 4 guys
