And yes, it was an Evo, and yes he was trying. Cute sound those little turbos make - but still a lawn mower engine. Don't get me wrong - I didn't leave him in the dust, but I beat him, albeit barely, but did suprise the crap out of him...

So you're saying you barely beat a lawn mower engine car with your heavily modified V8 Trans Am?

That's exactly what he is saying.
The "no replacement for displacement" mentality is the reason the US auto industry is headed right down the gutter.
There is this red-necked bias against the Japanese by these hicks with dem der big 'ol V8 muscle cars. I don't watch NASCAR but I cannot wait til Toyota starts handing the domestics their asses.
The US has no answer for the Hybrids or for powerfully efficient 4cylinders. GM's best response is the Korean-built Chevy Aveo. God help us.
As Lee Iacocca once said, "Lead, follow or get out of the way. They sure as hell aren't leading any more.

Toyota needs to first start making it into races before any handing of asses. Toyota has no wins in NASCAR at this point. Granted, Ford only has 3 wins and Dodge with 2, so there not too far behind two of the major American car manufacturers. Chevrolet is cleaning up so far this year in NASCAR with 16 wins.

Enjoy your miata with its giant aluminum spoiler that you need for "traction" ;D
I guess you really don't know too much about NASCAR because all of the engines are exactly the same. In order for Toyota to start winning, they'll need to get some better drivers. (No I don't watch NASCAR either, so for all I know they could already have a good driver)
Also, apparently you haven't paid attention in a few years because GM has a number of hybrid vehicles available and is about to launch a test run of fuel cell cars.
