I have trans Am power, and it got all new suspension so it goes round corners..............

"Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But, rather to skid in sideways........
totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"

2tongues I have trans Am power, and it got all new suspension so it goes round corners..............

American muscle :laugh:5.66 litres and it only produces 325 bhp / 242 KW @ 5200 rpm at the fly.You need a jap V8.

IS 200 Sport with a few mods, Standardish IS-F. The IS250 SE-L with a few mods has gone to a new home.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

lol - its all about the drive, the ENJOYMENT of the drive.

2000 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 0-60 mph 4.9 Quarter mile 13.5

2002 Lexus SC 430 0-60 mph 5.8 Quarter mile 14.2
2008 Lexus IS-F 0-60 mph 4.3 Quarter mile 12.6
6Cyl
1997 Toyota Supra Turbo 0-60 mph 5.0 Quarter mile 13.4

1/2 engined cars:
1996 Toyota MR2 Turbo 0-60 mph 6.1 Quarter mile 14.7
2006 Honda S2000 0-60 mph 5.4 Quarter mile 13.8


So what is the Jap car doing with all its extra power? Clearly not a lot.

Oh and for a like for like comparison a modern V8 from America Vs a ISF:

Charger SRT8 0-60 mph 4.3 Quarter Mile 12.6
and its brother
Chrysler 300C SRT8 0-60 mph 4.3 Quarter Mile 12.6

What Jap year 2000 v8 were you referring to? As mine clearly doesn't need a "Jap" engine its quite happy as it is.
