Yeah its a v8 thing all of my mates are V8 bogans lol and have all wanted to flog my little 2.5L rice burner,jap crap etc etc but what i do is get them to take me for a run in their car then say wow this goes alright now come for a run in my car and like your car i have over 300kw on the tar and when i plant it in 2nd gear and give it a quick stab in 3rd the looks on their faces and the comments that come outta their mouths is priceless! Then of course i ask them if they still wanna drag lol to which the answer always is faaark this thing would flog my car! Its funny though because its a not a holden or ford V8 its a piece of jap crap yet they will jump on a Honda CRF450 and think its the greatest thing ever or have ridden R1's and the likes and know that jap dirt bikes and road bikes are amongst the fastest and most reliable bikes on the road and track but for some reason jap performance cars are gutless and unreliable?????? until their narrow minds actually get in 1 and drive 1 and realize that jap cars go like the showers of shit cost swet F A to get astonishing performance in all aspects from cornering to outright acceleration and that they cant actually compare their cars as their car is more of a taxi with heaps of grunt as apposed to being a genuine sports car. My 2c worth im not biased towards any brand or engine configuration and can appreciate their cars for what they are but why cant they carry the respect for jap cars being the great performance bargains that they are!
