Yea that is what I said only 300 whp...problem?
Mine happens to be I used to own a 650 crank HP turbo 4 cyl. that had AC and power steering and didn't sound like I was dragging metal trash cans down the street....well until the externally dumped wastegate opened. Ah those were the days when I would pull bus lengths on cars that sounded like the one in the vid.
Its funny as crap when people try to make cars fast that weren't intended to be. That is exactly why I got a Mark VIII to be slow and comfortable.

in that case i guess it would be funny any time anyone modifies their car anywhich way. the only fast cars are to be built from the ground up by your hands, I gotcha.

was your 4 cyl intended to be fast when it was put out by the factory? i don't understand your logic.

You are the most :q:q:q:q!ng retarded person in the whole world for that little statement. So your telling me that regular old mustang gt's are retarded to mod? Your stupid a$$ 4 cylinder wasnt meant to go fast.

Gentlemen, I advise you to not bother trying to figure out what this guy is thinking. You'll only end up mad and with a headache.
MediumD said:
but, it makes sense...it has a 4 cyl, which means its ment to be good on gas, and high on power, them damn v8s are ment to be bad on gas, and only powerful enough to pull cars that weigh as much as a tank.
Tractionless said:
Used to huh?
Wow, you're a bada$$. So you used to own a fast car, but there's no way for you to prove you've had said car now, is there.Please provide specifics on said rocket-powered four banger. Then I'll probe you even more on the specifics, and don't try to bull$hit me, because I'll know. :shifty: I've got a fast car or two, and know lots more folks with fast cars, and we all know every single detail about them. So if you're lying (not saying you are at this point) then I'll grill you until there is a hole in your story, and then you'll feel like an a$$ for making a retarded comment like that.

So your $hitbox four banger was intended to be a super duper racecar eh? Seems to me they were designed to transport thirty-something mothers to soccer practice with a vanload of brats that smell of stale milk.
Carry on. I want details, pics, specifications, dyno sheets, and so on.

4 cylinders are meant for gay people.. Its the truth. If you try to make a 4 cyl car fast, study's have shown that 97.3% of the time, the person is gay.MrWilson said:

i think your statistics are way off. I remember a study showing that it was well over 100% of them, but who knows...you may be right, and this guy sure hopes he falls into that 2.7% BUT HE DONT!

Fast or quick?
JW's team that did the '93 Mark with a blueprinted motor and mirror delete plus a few other thricks ran 178 mph. Now that's fast!
The Mark in 1993 had one of the lowest aerodynamic numbers around .32 if I remember correctly. Now that's sleek!
The Mark VIII had the 1st overhead cam 32V V8 all-aluminum motor. Now that's high tech!
The Mark VIII featured the 1st fully independent rear suspension and adjustable air ride on all 4 corners. Now that's smooth!
Dropping on some bolt on goodies delivering another 100 rwhp that Ford should have done from day one and frying rice and eating Corvettes, now that's powerful!
Looks, speed, comfort,....Owning a Mark VIII? Now that's smart!

Interestingly enough, the 92-02 Eldo has the same CD as the Mark VIII. And the Northstar also came out for MY93.

Yes my stupid ass 4 cylinder was meant to be fast. It was billed as a sports car during its production and was turbo charged from the factory. Something tells me if a production car is force fed stock it wasn't meant to be a grocery getter. The fact that I tripled the stock HP wasn't a coincedence as they were good for 500 crank HP on the stock block/internals.
For everyone to blow their load over a ground shattering loud 300hp V8 is hilarious. It would have been eaten at half power. Then given it the thumbs down as usual.
If I offended you....its because Im right. Seems as if I touched a nerve with the V8 crowd yet again.
For all the nay sayers www.tractionless.freeservers.com you can check the mods list if ya like....and I accept everyones apologies in advance.

A 2800lb or less car would be much faster than 12.15 with 650hp. [Edited for personal attack]. You could run mid 11's no problem given optimal conditions. And they put a turbo on it so it wouldnt be slow as F**k, not so you could make it faster.
I'm not impressed, do the same mods on the 4.6 DOHC (forged internals, turbo) and you can see over 1000hp easy. John Mihovitz makes 2000hp with the stock Teksid block and fully ported stock B heads (and twin turbo)...

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Holy sh!t, this moron is talking smack, and he's backing it up with a DSM!:slam Holy crap, I should've known it had to be a DSM owner.
Why walk a dog, when you can walk your crank?
Let's evaluate this chap's claims, shall we?
Tell me, Mr. Wizard - how did you come up with this magical figure? I don't imagine you have the engine dyno sheet, do you? Oh wait, did you use a magical 'fudge factor' with your crappy AWHP to come up with this?
Let's take a look at your website now...
So, your 650 horsepower car can rip off an obliteratingly fast 112 mph quarter eh? WOW!
And you had a MASSIVE, EARTH SHATTERING 315 hp, and wait, no, 314 ft. lbs. of torque too! By the way kids, this took 110 octane fuel and 24 lbs of boost. How very sad. I know several people with in excess of 600 horsepower, and they ALL run in the 130 mph range, on EVERY pass, no matter how bad they annhilate the tires. You're sooper dooper racecar has the mighty AWD (sucks) and should hook HARD off the line every time. But wait, your best 60' time is...
.... wait for it....
A Top-Fuel-Worthy 1.75 seconds!!! HOLY CRAP!!!
Let's compare this to some real world-numbers that I happen to know to be true, shall we?
I happen to have a 3800+ lb car (race weight) with 347 rwhp and 442 ft. lbs. of torque (naturally aspirated). Now this car would trap 110 mph on EVERY pass, no matter how bad I annhilated the tires or screwed up the pass. This was on two wimpy little street radials. (not drag radials) On a good pass, it would trap in the mid-111s.
So, what captain slapnuts is saying is that his car with 200 more horsepower, and about 800 less pounds, and AWD traps the same mph. Huh, strange.
Let's move on though to his blistering 60' times. His awesome lightweight sooper racecar would rip off a 1.75 second sixty foot!
Again, we'll refer back to my crappy, heavy pig of a rear-wheel-drive sh!tbox. My best sixty foot was 1.90, on those same crappy radials again, leaving the light at just off idle. (seriously)So all the super technology, two extra drive tires, a turbo, and 800 less pounds netted him a .15 better sixty foot.
Wow, I'm truly impressed. You definitely have a....
..I mean had...
...a sooper dooper racecar DSM. We should all bown down to your mighty beast that needs about two-and-a-half atmospheres and six-dollar-per-gallon fuel put down 300 horsepower. You are truly a mighty pillar of automotive superiority.
Dang, you can cut the sarcasm like a knife.
