How about this...
6 cylinders
274 cubic inches
390 ft/lbs Torque
10.8 in the 1/4 @ 124
0 - 55mph in 1.47 seconds (based on 1.47 60' time.
There are a some V8's that will do better than that but not too many. I mean at the track, not in their owners minds.
Point is that you've got to get the power to the ground or your wasting your time.
Sorry guys but somebody has to stand up for the "unV8 crowd"
