Racing a 4-cylinder is like putting a kick me sign on your back, why do that to yourself? 6 is better but when you can get 8's as cheap as you can in the states why insult your fellow American's by buying and then RACING a 4-banger? I've yet to be impressed with even the evo's. Sure they're in the 12's but last time I checked the fastest evo was still hunting for single digits. How many "old" v8's have we all seen in the single digits, there, nuff said.
yeah, I agree with your feeling about the "killer bee" sound, BUT a lot of the turbo 4-awd cars are badass. I've only put $2K worth of parts into my EVO and am getting 335awhp(425 crank) in a car I can drag, autoX, hell even rally...or more importantly, drive year-round in NJ, traction problem free.
And EVO's have been in single digits for over a year now...the first one was built right in Edison at TurboTrix. It was also running heavier than stock weight(stupid ricer system's, I know, but that says somthing right there).
