350HP on 2ZZ-GE?

OK THIS ONE GUY ON TOYOTA NATION WHO LOVES AMERICAN CARS IS PISSING ME OFF WITH HIS SRT-4...

His saying that I cant even get close to 240HP with a Turbo/modded 2ZZ-GE with $4grand? is this true??? he always say a larger displacement is always better and lighter LOL!... "what about the EVO didnt he know its only a 2liter?

also... his saying that a Corvette with "him as a driver" will rule a drifter car in Japan with K. Tsuchiya driving it in the tight zig-zags very easy...

Okay...I love the SRT-4. I traded mine in for my Yaris S. My close friend has an identical SRT-4 like the one I had. He's nicely modded and going higher with a stage 3.

I HATE A-holes who do what this guy did. He knows NOT what he's talking about on the drifting subject.

He is correct in theory that there is no replacement for diplacement. There are A LOT of way to make displacement though. Remember when dealing with jerks on this type of topic, there are TWO prime rules!

1.) Power to weight ratio

2.) Power to the ground

FWD platforms are usually owned off the dig by AWD and RWD platforms. FWD has less parasitic loss due to less moving parts in the drivetrain (laymen's terms).

Remember, a turbo is a displacement adder in effect.

Also remember there is ALWAYS someone bigger, badder and better than you are. Keep it humble and you won't have any true haters. If that doesn't succeed, tell the douche that you have a twin turbo Cobra or something...and that you're potential for power will always be greater.

Oooh! Or you could go buy something like an 82' Honda CVCC and slap a 302 in it...*mmmwwwaaahhahahahaha*!!!!!! I've seen it once before and it was very quick!

0-60 and 1/4 mile times depend on the driver. I've personally seen everything as bad as a 17 second (MASSIVE wheel spin) down to a 13.8 stock. Yes, the rear windows are crank. I never had anyone in back anyway so I didn't give a crap.

My best kills were an S2000, a 350z, the Mustang GTand a modded WRX. I never really went looking for trouble. Most people left me alone because I took my wing off...it looked like a grandma car. What I loved was the civics who would honestly try to race and get absolutely slapped silly. I've said this before about the SRT-4, second gear is LIFE! First gear is absolutely useless...IF...you get overly excited. Second gear is when you start laying down the most serious boost. This all of course depends primarily on the modifications to the wastegate actuator and the PCM.

What else do you want to know about the car? Weak points?

Obviously if the guy who likes American cars and is on Toyota Nation he must be a troll...not to say you can't like both but if he is just trying to look for trouble then DON'T FEED THE TROLLS!

First of all, that guy really has no idea what his is talking about. Very basic knowledge if that. Second of all, I'd like to point him towards the BMW Sauber 2.4 liter V8. Naturally aspirated putting out over 700 hp. Also I'd like to point out the Mazda 757 rotary engine. 2.6 liters putting out over 700 NA hp. Don't listen to that there is no replacement for displacement bullcrap. It's called technology and tuning.
