Yep, you can get 700hp from a 4banner. At 4 or 5 times the cost as a small block V8 and that will only go down the track 4 - 5 times before you need to rebuild. I can do the same thing with a Cavalier or Focus. But com-on, really, you would take a 700hp Talon over a 67 Stingray, 65 Goat, 68 Roadrunner, 67 GT Mustang? Really? (youth today :roll: )

Daily drivers, yep the crossbreeding has made the lines blurry, and each has their pros & cons. My point is to support the US Auto Industry. Hey, I'm opened minded.. Convince me to buy an import. (my wife did it. she bought a Kia)

Oh, one more thing, it was interesting that your example was a Talon. An American car company designed and built by a Japanese company.
