That's mad Bfit. . Then you would like the six cylinder HR with the Jap motor ( see pics of Harrys Cafe nights) that pulls like 10's, or was that high 11's. Sure its tuff alright. . Jap technology.

I am not religious but that is sacrilegious.
I would commend the effort  But oooohhhh I could not go there
the only jap motor I would go for would be in a dirt bike and no brakes

Common Camo, i have seen six cylinders with just bolt ons producing well over a thousand Hp. . You cannot beat technology.

Bfit, its not because Holden did that with the Vl Commodores as well. . The Japs just built stronger motors. .

You don't see Jap motors or the like in a Top Fueler.  There's a reason for that.

I  have seen jap motors in the garages  for the top fuel cars
They run the air compressors

Are we going to see a 6 cylinder Jap in a C4 in the near future.

Kerosene burners  yes they do run hard
But not for long, they have been around since the late 60s
And  they stile don't have that sound about them, That make you think I could run one of those.
Oh and they are two stoke in a fashion
Really they don't stroke at all that just circulate.
No rotation mass to stop and change direction  that is a tech advance  I guess.


I can't see any one pulling up an asking a girl if she wants a ride in a  car that  sound like a bee hive on streroids
But you never know.
