And a V-10 powered viper beat it...We do all see this is a worthless and pointless argument right?
Too an extent, but dollar for dollar the American cars are cheaper. I do get the point of your argument though, and for me the Dodge is American. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate what Nissan has done either.
I never said a nascar car costs 80k. Were talking engines not whole cars. Or are we? You don't even know what v8 vs turbo 6 vs v10 you're comparing. Or the car you want to compare. Modified vs stock vehicle or modified vs stock engine? I'm still trying to pin down what you mean by performance. You're so all over the map its a guessing game.
This isn't rocket science. If you can't figure out that the OP posted pics of a bunch of modified V8 Camaros and called them the greatest thing since sliced bread, and I've disagreed and said there are plenty of V6 and V10 engines that perform better (using the GTR and Gallardo engines as an example), then I can't help you. And yes, you DID say cars.

So you mean to tell me you're comparing just the engine vs the Gallardo engine? No, you're not, because you didn't mention the V10. You're comparing cars.

Seems like you're comparing cars here too. Now you can continue being obtuse about understanding the English language, but then I'm going to have to lump you in with tweedle-dee and dum here as well, and that's saying something.

Those are the only kinds of arguments he knows how to make.
You're the one who claimed the 911 can beat the ZO6. Let me guess you won't admit your wrong either. It's everyone else in the thread and you're right?

Tell us more about that huge Lambo aftermarket?
He didn't say the Lamborghini aftermarket is huge, he just said the aftermarket Gallardo's and GTR's beat everything other then a one or two Ford GT's when using the the Texas Mile and other mile run races.

I also don't see how it's an American vs Foreign issue...I'm fairly certain most countries out there have produced a V8 engine at some time...in the same way that every company has produced Inline Fours, Inline Sixes, and I wouldn't be surprised to find at least a few Straight Eights on every continent (but I wouldn't bet the house on that).
And this wasn't supposed to be a "whole car" comparison, but an engine comparison...And remember, no matter how fast you go, there's always someone faster.

And you're the one who decides what the OP's intent is? WTF, at least you think highly of yourself.
Look at the OP's original post and tell us how many foreign cars you see?

I started by reading at the top and working down.
"Why V8's are better than everything"
This has nothing to do with American V8's...or European V8's....had the guy said "American V8's are better than anything" then we'd have something to talk about.
So if I look at the photos in the OP's post, I saw a bunch of cool cars...some dragsters, bunch of F-body's, etc...saw some wheelies, saw some burnouts, etc...
I'm sure you looked at it and saw something different than I did, I just saw cars with V8 engines doing a plethora of different things. Later, someone is gonna start a thread and state "Four cylinders are better than everything" and show a bunch of little cars getting 50 MPG. I don't know where those "theoretical" cars are going to originate from, but if it's overseas I won't be so blind as to think that foreign companies are the only one's who build four cylinder engines.
