Let explain where incoming from and how it appears to an outsider.
When see a boosted 4 cylinder race a. Stock v8 and win and then rub in the v8 owners face, my first thought is, but the v8 can be modified and can run boost too. Racing a modified car against a stock car and bragging about a win is lame.
So the original poster is rambling on about how much the terminator still dominates the new 5.0, and my reaction is, but the 5.0 is over 400 n/a horsepower, the 5.0 can be supercharged too.
So does the terminator still dominate the 5.0? My first reaction would be, I don't know let's supercharge that 5.0 and find out. My bet is that a supercharged and tuned 5.0 would make a terminator look stupid slow.
