lol, my AW11 with a 20V isnt even running properly (work in progress) and it blows away most V8's i race. V8's are good if you want to waste fuel and if you are compensating for something.

TomsMR2 · 11-22-2007, 06:17 AM

a 20v is a good for a mid, or maybe low 15.. its not really a powerful engine.

ToyotaTechGeek · 11-22-2007, 06:53 AM

great for sustained high revs and a little more power than a 4AG-E. drifting comes to mind...

Show us your mullet while you are at it.

I love this, hahahahahaha, guys come in Talking about v8's like it's still the 80's. I think these guys need a wake up call, it's not about throwing a BIGGER is BETTER motor in your car, it's about having the ability to get say..... 400whp out of a 4cyl that is impressive.

lets face it, we could all go out and get a V8 if we wanted to, but where is the pride in actually tuning the motor and spending the time and learning how it all works and rebuilding an engine HALF the size of a V8 and getting the same power. You don't get that sence of pride just by throwing in a V8 into any car.

Accomplishment to get it in the car... yes. Bragging about having 8 cyl or how much HP it has... redundant.

^^ Well put. I like being able to say, sure you got an 8 cyl, mine's half the size but just as quick...(well, mine's not really as quick, but if it was, whooee, I'd be proud!)

we're not all jdm yo import ricers. 400whp out of a 4cyl sucks pretty bad. it takes a TON more work, skill, and automotive enthusiasm to rebuild an entire car to put an engine in the wrong side. bigger IS better.

all though considering the guys other posts, im starting to seriously doubt the validity of that car..

Fixed... i think lol

to nitrate, i think when the wasting gas comment was made i think commenter means... if you drive it on something other than a 1/4 strip (i.e. daily drive)....

This is someone who isn't to worried about taking and kind of curve at more than 10mph. To me he sounds like some mustang owner that lost his "glorious" mustang and wanted to keep his engine for his tyte straight line rice burner killa. Then after looking for another mustang body he found his MR2 body in a junk yard for like 50 bucks and went to town. Now he talks his my V8 will toast you 4 banger LOLRZ crap like a V8 killing a 4 cyl is something new. Let him have his fun and when his hack job car falls apart he'll leave us alone.
