No problem.
After been lurking the eBay motors and Classic Motors for a year now,
looking for another project car for Dec 2002, I found a few cars that push
over 1000HP and weighing in around 3300lbs - 3600lbs. These are not your
typical dragster cars but mean street machines.
Even the latest issue of Hot Rod (June), you can still build a 1050HP big
block while running only 91 Octane gasolines. You will never find this in a
Japanese car. There is no comparison.
Like Bernd said, "....nothing beats displacement". Now playing around with
light-weight mini cars, I can truly understand the magnitude of displacement
and weight/horsepower ratio.
Nissan Skyline is a complete joke to the likes of twin-turbo Cobra,
twin-turbo Vette, and so forth. Even Toyota could not even produce a true
NASCAR. The engine barely squeezed over 320Hp while the average Bush cup
car is around 700HP plus.
Though the Dakota is in a different class in comparing to the Skyline, there
is nothing on this planet that is even close in the same size and same
vehicle category as this truck.
