How many domestics have turbo v8s? Hmmm yeah. Something you would have picked up on if you again would have read the post in context.

Really? Would I have? Here's your ENTIRE post:

Until you run into a guy with a turbo charged small block and then the displacement rears it's ugly head yet again.
Drools over the thought of a twin turbo 331 cubic inch stroker. Or a supercharged 383.
Hmmm that kind of makes me wonder why nobody has turboed a big engine from the factory. Stop wasting the boost on the little dinky 4 bangers.

Do me a favor and tell me where the word "domestic" appears in there.
Perhaps before you bash me for misunderstanding your posts, you should check to make sure your posts say what you actually meant, because if you are to be believed in your retort, your post said the opposite.
As for where you claim I quoted you as saying 4bangers are worthless, well, you misinterpreted my post didn't you? I said you ACT like 4bangers are worthless, and I stand by that statement. When you complain that manufacturers are wasting turbos on dinky 4bangers, that's not exactly a complimentary statement toward 4bangers now is it?
Next time, don't bash things you don't know about, and don't get mad when people react to what you say when you fail utterly to say what you claim to mean.
