The whole point wasn't to say that a domestic couldn't beat an import, or vice versa.

Meth injection isn't any easier than running E85 once the system is setup. Dual map ECU (can be done with OEM parts), and pulling a plug, then adding fuel? What's so difficult about filling up and flipping a switch?

Why would you want low-comp pistons when you can get more power and better efficiency at higher dynamic compression ratios? Do you even know the difference between static compression and dynamic compression?

Alright, fine, I'll agree with you - there is no comparison. The Honda would be a marvelous sight, while the same old Mustang would just be the same old Mustang.

By the way, I don't remember the OP setting forth a goal to specifically beat any type of car while racing... I think he said something along the lines of 10.xx @ xxx in the 1/4 mile... Where does that require a discussion about how a Mustang with X hp could beat his car?
You're the one bringing a mustang into this equation, not me, I am just comparing 2 cars with 900hp and 450hp, I already told you, my toy is not a mustang.

I said you could run low comp pistons so you can get away with using pump gas and meth.

Let me explain, filling up and flipping a switch is not as easy as just flipping a switch, I don't know how to explain this to you, it takes less calories to flip a meth kit switch then filling a tank with e85 and flipping a switch, I hope you get this one
