    it think its due 2 the fact off the tracks we have in ireland,the tracks in america are big long,and you need that v8 power for them,if you watched any off kearneys runs in america he is running 480 horse and you can see the v8 running away from him,480 horse power hear in ireland,is enough,its 2 much for the tracks we have,there is no need for v8 engines,everyone in ireland has alot more experience with the sr20's,rb,s ect,parts are everywear for them,why would you bother running a v8,it would result in hassel and money wasted imo!!

    Thats the craic she said with one leg on the dash and nothing on but the radio............

    theres only a shortage of parts for american v8's... theres plenty of european and japanese v8 engines in the country. [retty sure ts just a lack of imagination for the most part....

    Stupid statement lad.....! No offence......! The reason why these cars pull away from kearney is because of the pure bad ass torque and no lag......! Instant power...! I know the tracks are a lot smaller over here but the same princeable applys.....! Torque talks simple as....!

    Sounds mental alright - M5 engine would be heavy, would need to sit well back, possibly even make a new bulk head I would presume?
