forget the 20B arguments for a minute. one of my pet peeves on the other board has always been the insistence by some people to go out and buy JC 13Bs for FBs and FCs because they need the "extra strength" for the BNR Stage 2 or T04S projects. a little bit of extra time and careful application would net good results on a S4 or S5 13BT - bottomline is you could build a really FAST car with those "lesser" blocks. it vexes me to no end when those same retards report back a month later - Cosmo engine all blown to shit ... at a whopping 340 HP.

I agree.. In modern era with 500+HP cars weighing 3500+ with all the modern idiot proof cars could be daily driven.. but our RX7 era with sub 3000lbs with no idiot proof electronics, it requires 'actual' driving skills.
Like I said before, and I have said to many many people at shows, I'm just not 'talented' as some to handle 500+ HP cars. Straight line and maybe at a drag strip, I might be.. But personally, my 300 HP ish, seq twin, FD is enough for me to have fun. I just can't wait to get my silver FD running good so I could go Rice Rice baby on my MB and make it useless
