You find the "check writer" type in any circle. God knows there's plenty of Porsche owners that fit into that mold.

I've had this conversation w/ import guys before. They take a fwd 4cyl, apply some technology, race a stock Mustang & think they are fast. A guy I know bought a stock 2003 Cobra new, replaced the stock blower with a Kennee Bell unit, added a chip & an x pipe, drove it to work every day & ran low 9's on drag radials. Any way you slice it, a 4 cyl is half a V8.
