FC N/A vs 2002 Chevy Avalanche

I don't even think he knew we were racing. It was actually my buddies truck and I pulled up behind him at a stoplight. I wanted to see if I could keep up when the light turned green, and I couldn't lol. He was slowly creeping away from me although I'm sure I could've overtaken him eventually, maybe after 100 MPH lol.

I really miss torque. My Jetta has a lot less horsepower, but it has torque even at 1,000 rpm. Driving the FC takes a lot more careful thinking when you want to pass/accelerate.

You're right it is. Which is why pistons are better.

Sit behind the wheel of a 400hp small block and then see how you like your NA 13B after that.

torques not fun when autocrossing, I bet a 240hp FC could take a 400hp 400ft.lb FC on a tight track just because the v8 beast would be spinning tires when trying to accelerate. Torque is ALOT more fun on a v-twin firebolt.
