the only thing you can get from sound is 3 things

1) upgraded exhaust
2) turbo or supercharger
3) nitrous (though it only really comes up when there is a lot of it)

My bro has an F-body, and so do a few of my friends, there are generally 2 camps on supras, they either think they're dyno queens and not really good at racing, or they think it's up their with their cars, like Z cars and RX-7's.

Horsepower only matters near the end of the strip and on 60mph punches. Torque is what's needed, and V8's have us on that generally. The reason I like Turbo cars is that you can control the boost and fuel with a computer, run CRAP gas if you know what you're doing with the computers, and get great gas mileage, then dump race gas in, tune it up to the max, and fry anyone that comes your way. If you build a monster engine that isn't turboed you can't do this.

Anyways, it's power to weight ratio that really matters int he end, and we all know our supras are considered pigs in that regard becuase of their weight. My bro's F-body is made SOOOOOO cheap compared to mine, where I have a high quality interor, his is spartan, ect...

In the end...who cares, let's all go roast some hondas :lol:
