You are absolutely right, the 500whp was the beer talking. There are a lot over 400 with stock internals, but the 500+ need a little more to be safe and are probably on an ethanol mix. Also probably a lot more of those out of state than here in car enthusiast hell.[/quote]
I know what you mean. I’m really pondering getting a dirt cheap house/condo in Arizona just for that reason. Screw CARB.
The problem with small I4 and turbo is low end torque. I’ve ridden in a mid 300WHP EVO and going up hill in a parking garage where you have to keep it bellow 5MPH or you’ll hit something is a nightmare. There’s no replacement for displacement :-).
