The saying that there's no replacement for displacement is outdated. These young guys will blow your doors off with a 700 HP Toyota, Honda or whatever 4 cylinder. They know their shit.
While that's kinda true.. If you spin your wheels you're not moving, so extra displacement is wasted.
But..
On the other hand, I don't see any Toyotas in the winner's circle in the 1/4 mile going against Force Drag Racing.

Front wheel drives can't do this.. . (I remember reading about a guy who turbo'd his Dodge Areis K, it could go 10.5 in 1/4 mile)
(the below is a skyline ;) all wheel drive and the fastest AW in the world)
How fast you want to go......... How much you want to spend

The fastest hondas arent fwd they are AWD these days. comparing an 11,000hp car to any other class is stupid and anyone who knows anything will stop listening because you sound stupid. A FWD Honda was doing 7.58 1/4 mile times over 200mph which is real quick for just “spinning his wheels” with a H pattern 4 speed.

Any rig that is pulling a sub 8 second 1/4 is cool. It may not be my favorite way to do it, but impressive nonetheless. It takes gearheads of all types.

I wouldn’t brag about a 10.5 these days it’s not a big deal.
10.5 out of a Dodge Aries K? you serious? that's quick as hell for an Aries K... ultimate sleeper if you found a faster Aries K, shoot me the article.
your ability to miss the fact it was an Aries K, proves your own point about sounding stupid
I keep looking for the 'must bow down to your wisdom' emoji, couldn't find it.

Doesn’t matter what the car is anything can be built/swapped to go fast. 10.5 still isn’t impressive anymore

The Honda that runs 7.47 at 215 leaves like it's asleep, they have to slow roll it off of the line. If they could figure out how to get that car to launch without breaking all of the fragile ricer shit it would really be something. It should be running high 5's low 6's if they could launch it.

“NO replacement for displacement,”

Technology replaces displacement there’s all sorts of ways to beat displacement. They do it on new cars all the time, that’s a very old fart thing to say.

Idiotic rpms on small engines with turbos beat displacement all the time. Just because you add alien doesn’t make it a large displacement engine...it’s just acts like one.

“What if you take variable valve timing, four valves per cylinder, direct-injection, and many of the other recent technological developments into consideration? Does the fact that the Ferrari 458 Italia makes more horsepower from 4.5 liters without forced induction than a supercharged 6.2 in a Cadillac CTS-V” motortrend

It’s fwd it’s going to spin, 215 in a fwd Honda is still damn impressive

in UNLIMITED 1/4 mile, the ULTIMATE SPEED TEST. I haven't seen a 4 or 6 cylinder in the winner's circle.
Doesn't matter HOW much Tech you have, if you can't put the HP to the wheels WITHOUT spinning, you ain't winning.
HENCE the reason they have classes at drag strips, to make it fair for the poor guy link
"Technology replaces displacement "
so, show me that 4 banger with all that tech, and go up the these guys with your argument​
cause they might have a difference of opinion. 500,000 for a top fuel dragster. I think they know about tech​
edit -​
3.623 seconds in a 1/4 mile

Don’t blowers and nitrous technically replace displacement? I can have a smaller engine that acts like a larger displacement engine without changing the stroke/bore size of the cylinder.
Right.
So if you apply 15psi of boost to a 1-liter engine - it acts like a 2-liter engine.
Apply that same number of boost to a 5-liter engine and it acts like a 10-liter engine.
So applying the same technology to a larger engine gets you the same increases in power.

You’re sure jumping all around. I haven’t seen a top fuel car beat a land speed record car over multiple miles either...

You’re comparing apples to oranges they don’t compete with each other.

Compare shifter karts to F1 next, maybe a late model to a cup car.


Hey look I’m you....

“Fuck top fuel

763.035 mph

The current holder of the Outright World Land Speed Record is ThrustSSC driven by Andy Green, a twin turbofan jet-powered car which achieved 763.035 mph - 1227.985 km/h - over one mile in October 1997. This is the first supersonic record as it exceeded the sound barrier at Mach 1.016.

There’s no replacement for jet engines.”

Looks just as stupid.

Also they are still competing with RWD with the fast fwd Honda’s and winning a lot so apparently the powers going down or they wouldn’t be trapping fast speeds. Even top fuel cars have slip, but you would know that....

No I get that, I was making a point off your comment lol

That technology is certainly an improvement....
And in modern vehicles - manufacturers have been able to replace prior displacement with technology to gain performance and efficiency with a smaller displacement to perform more work. Applying that tech to bigger stuff is fun too.

Yup.

Looks like we still replaced displacement the late 60s and the 70s would cry.

No they don't replace displacement. A 200 cubic inch ricer on 25 pounds of boost is nothing compared to a 500 inch V8 on 25 pounds of boost. Those ricers also do not produce any where near the torque a big inch V8 does. The upside to running a ricer is weight of the drive train, smaller tires so less rotating mass and usually the ricer cars are shit boxes weighing about 1500 pounds. If those ricer engines were they way to go everyone from Pro Mod up would be running them instead of 500 inch Hemis.

Bigger is always better.
