true - but those were professionally prepared, to last just the one race. It goes back to my original post about power vs cost/reliablitly.
The Americans have never worried too much about getting massive power from displacement, they just shove superchargers on. They haven't so far had to worry that fuel costs lots of money. We went to Florida a few years ago and rented a Chrysler PT Cruiser with a 2.4 Turbo engine that produced a paltry 145bhp, and still only managed 22mpg. American engine design is just light years behind European and Japanese.
