Not true.

A dry sump is one way to combat that problem.

Installing a swinging pickup is another way.

Using a properly baffled pan with an Accusump is yet another way.

There are many ways to skin a cat.

For what it's worth the Group A GT-Rs did not need a dry sump to win- so your statement is false.

The Skyline has 270hp stock and it can make 400 with mods so what? So can a TT Supra or any other Turbo ricer such as a WRX and so forth, again the debate was not who can do the 1/4 the fastest but will the car last flat out for 24 hrs, that separates the BS.

I guess a win at the Spa 24 doesn't count in your books then.

My car makes 580ft/lbs torque at 5000rpm. It makes over 500ft/lbs torque from 4500rpm-8700rpm- at the wheels. Those are major numbers in any book and simply not possible in a "bolt on" Supra or Ferrari 328. It does require some engineering skill...

And no I don't even bother with ricers very often in my Ferrari, some
act like flys buzzing around trying to antagonze me into a race, the few
I have usually have been following me while I am driving fast off exit ramps and they are quickly gone.

You have a Ferrari? Oh. You mean the 328. I'm glad you like it. Now that's not my cup of tea. I much prefer something with a little more panache if I were driving a Prancing Horse.

Cheers!
