And another thing…
I wondered how long it would be before someone mentioned the 'N' word. How depressing.
RarlyL8 tried to turn this into a class issue by saying that purists are wealthy snobs. Well, I would like to better him by taking V8 conversions to a new plane. I could argue that by sticking a 'good ol' small block Chevy into a teeny weeny german sportscar (which actually had nothing to do with the National Socialist Party) is a potent symbol of American Imperialism.
The act of V8 conversion is an act of domination by your way of thinking and cultural ideals over that of another people.
It signifies American attitudes the world over. Forcefeeding it's way of life, through economic dominance, onto a world that doesn't want its third rate offerings.
No substitute for cubic inches or caliber.
Yeeha.
