They don't need forced induction to actually go fast unlike your two rides

Do you have a problem with people who use FI to go fast?? I prefer it.

I think what he was trying to say is you dont see that many if any 4.6's running 11's all motor.. Hell there are just bolt on LS1's with stock heads and cam running 11's!! Its the truth though.. 4.6's need boost to run fast times!! Not like the good ol days with the 5.0's running 11's with heads and cam!! But thats the difference between pushrod and OHC!! the 4.6 is still a monster but just a different monster then the Gen 3-4 motors!!

Think about what you are saying.

I'd rather pay 1-2k for a crx than

20k+ for a haggard designed turd.

you do it to everyone, yet you have the same problem. and unlike me, you go to the track all the time and never really improve. your times get slightly faster as you add more mods, but you are still slower than you should be, and always have the same problems.

GTO is much more car than a CRX could ever hope to be. That's not even a fair comparison.

I went to practice before cam/headers and practice on dr's. Still need more practice though. My best 13.3@108 w/2.2 60'. I'd either bog or roast them, have to find the sweet spot. Couldn't get very many runs though, they were packed. I only ran like 4 times.
