Personally I have nothing against 4 bangers, and I know there are some
out there that'll probably kick my a$$ if I ever meet them, all I'm saying
is that my personal tastes are for power and speed, not just speed like
with a 4 banger. If one of them beats me, I'll have nothing but respect
for them, but I'll still stick with the V8 Dak. I think my problem is
I've been around big block V8's all my life, and I just can't drop back
down now. I concede the 4's can run fast with the proper mods, but I just
don't want one.
