The end is near...

Not understanding basic English punctuation definitely doesn't make you different or a trendsetter.

Yeah, sorry I don't give a single crap about the current displacement of your engine, I'd have to care to know that.

I also don't believe for one second you don't know how much money you spent building it, since pretty much every post you make about your car involves how much money it's worth.

All I was doing is pointing out that you made the rules for your little stunt race so they favored you and your build, and put enough requirements on it you knew it would never happen anyway. Especially since you won't travel. All just so you can say no one will take you up on your offer.

But if the point of your little stunt is actually to prove which is better, the LA or the Gen III, a financial cap makes a lot more sense than requiring it to be N/A. A lot of the improvement in technology that's happened in between is having a supercharged factory engine that will last 100k+ miles without any issues. A lot of the factory LA's from the 70's struggled to make it to 100k even making less than 300 hp. And since the Gen III was likely designed with forced induction in mind, it's not surprising they do so well with it.

And nobody does that kind of a race? Weird, here's one right here...
$3k Drag Challenge - A-body vs B-body

I think most of the automotive magazines out there run engine competitions with a dollar cap, pretty much the same deal isn't it?




And somehow you think that doesn't apply to the Toyota you daily drive?
Since common sense seems to penetrate slowly I will explain more and provide another example....I initially offered any Gen 3 modern car of any factory setup to the drive and race, I was then told why limit it to a modern car....how about a gen 3 in an older car so I immediately said yes within common sense guidelines which are my car is N/A and so that engine has to be N/A and also my car is about 3350 or so with me in it so I stated minimum weight of 3200 with driver, again more than fair, I never stated or expected the gen 3 engine to be stock so what is the problem? West Coast 10.5 N/A heads up racing class which is wildly popular has rules as such......all small blocks can run up to a 29" tall tire and be 2700 lbs minimum weight with steel roof and quarters whereas all big blocks can run up to a 28" tall tire with I believe 2800 or 2850 minimum weight and that is essentially it. Easy, simple and fair.
