No way a 4-banger is going to give me that aural orgasm, let alone the speed.

Diablo is italian job you do realize that?

Or the fact bmw used to offer 1.5L 4 banger with 1500 horsepower?

Did you by any chance ever heard of something car related called Gruppo B?

Let me introduce you to it:

The best car of all times also is 4cyl and passengers of this one don't only deal with orgasms but occasionally **** their pants :

There are some bitter 944 purists on here when it comes to thinking outside the box to go faster. Of course I know a Diablo is Italian, the company was also owned by Chrysler in the 90s due to Lamborghini's financial strife.

That 1500HP BMW I4 you're talking about I believe is in the Brabham BMW car and that HP was recorded under qualifying trim.

Gruppe B was actually one of my favorite series and I always routed for the Audi Quattro.

If you had read what I'd written you would have seen that I said I don't have a problem with LS and the like V8's. I just don't like them in a smaller European sports car. I've seen plenty of example of very sorry looking V8 swaps in 944s on Craiglist and other places. I've seen plenty of video from inside V8 swapped 944s and don't like how they drive. Fat and lazy is the impression I get. Instead of a car that you have to drive with more shifting to get the best out of them. This is all purely subjective and opinionated. I accept that. Just as you like V8 swaps, I don't.

You made the speculation that I don't like V8 swaps because I am no admirer of Trump. In a sense there is a connection. Just as there might be a crossover for those that do like V8 swaps and Trump. Then you shout something about AMERICA as if that would somehow explain away your logic. As for not knowing Jack**** about Americans...well I've been there a few times and have traveled through quite a few states. I have plenty of friends and associates in the US. I would retort that most people NOT from America know more about you than you do about them. What % of Americans even have a passport? It's astonishingly low compared to the rest of the world.

Anywho, this thread has gone way off the rails. I'm stepping out. Have a nice day Champ!
