Default It sucks having American muscle lovers as friends...

I thought i would let you guys know about my problem. Two of my friends I hang out with have 88 and 87 Mustang 5.0's. And it seems like every time we hang out we always get on the topic of cars. They are always saying imports suck. Like they say that is so ****ty they throw two turbos on a V6 and can get only 250 horse. Then i tell them because the turbos are about the size of my knuckles. Then they say well it doesn't matter what size the turbos are they have two. I can't even explain this. It pisses me off and they also say Why would you worry about how your car handles nobody races around curves. Then i tell them about "the guys on audiworld do." They just say that's dumb, anyways mustang has won track races for the last three years. (Is that true?) What i hope i get from saying this is just maybe some facts on imports vs. american muscle.

Default The 2.7T is capable of producing a lot more power....

<i>Like they say that is so ****ty they throw two turbos on a V6 and can get only 250 horse. </i>

The simple installation of a chip with no additional mods will net you 315 HP and about 350 ft-lbs of torque.

Audi "de-tunes" the engine from the factory for various reasons.

Default Tell your friends that they've got dark age Mustangs... not real muscle cars...

Now a Hemi 'Cuda... that's a muscle car. If their stangs were about 20 years older they'd be low end muscle cars. As it stands 80's mustangs are pathetic.

Yeah... that 20 valve engine does not impress. Double the valve count and you'd find 200 more hp...

Default We were watching that imola S4 vs. that camaro SS....

They were like no way that's bull**** there's no way. Anyways that camaro couldn't hook up. Then i say that's why you have all wheel drive. They say all wheel drive is for *****'s. i just can't win with these guys their skulls are too thick.
