and a civic IS meant for racing?

you kids act like we dont understand power to weight.

now, if you are going to do power to weight there are two ways you can do it, cut weight, or increase power. EVERY car is ruled by power and weight.

we chose to take the 2nd route, because a full interior and a little torque are something we like. my lawnmower is pretty light. but just because its light doesnt mean it has good power to weight. you have to have BOTH good power and low weight. you are producing cars with only low weight and an inability to make alot of power which is why they many times get capped in an embarassing 13 second range (embarassing because for the money and time involved most other cars would be much faster)

thats a marginal difference in autos to standards. my point is what was the purpose of making an automatic in a car that is meant for "racing" anyone who buys a V8 camaro looking for luxury and to relax is a tard

the 427 was a cast iron block, it was a truck motor that carrol shelby took apart and re-geared?????? and not to mention shelby went to gm first to get their small block v-8 and they turned him down because they told him the vette was all he needed, real smart on their part, ford owned the track until 65 when ferrari came out with their new series and then they came bout with the 427 and owned until 72 when porsche beat it, enough said
