What do you Like About your B4 Black Cars?

[83turbomon]

What do you like about them... the sound, the exhaust, having to pump the gas, the gas mileage, bragging rights, rarity, NO ONE knows what it is....

I dont have a B4B car per say.....

but im a B4B hybrider.

only one reason I like the carb turbo system soooooo much.

if you outrun anybody with it- you just smash hearts. nobody likes to admit to loosing to a carb turbo. atleast not in my area! and if you can do it with antique outdated equipment.... they quickly learn to not mess with you.

Yep....:biggrin:

Old technology versus new technology, (it's an old battle ground). Why is it that at a personal level, for me, it always comes back to that issue. Old music versus new music, old values versus new values....so on and so forth. Must be an age thing.... :frown:

Despite the peoblems like not running good in the cold, worring about detonation, and workin with something that has almost no aftermarket support it is a nice engine.

MPG is in the low 20's with a carb, theres decent power, its not something everyone has like an SBC, the other owners are friendly, and it doesnt take a hole lot to make respectable power. Its more in the tune and the $20 stuff.

Both of you are right but I will add that the challenge is what got me going on the design. No one has really tried to go past 12.9 in the quarter with any kind of success. I want to break that barrier and not just break it, blow it away. If I can get 1 second lower than the last record then I'll be the only one that's done it, and with some very old technology to boot.:biggrin:

I like all of your guys post's.
I love the Simplicity!!! and the puzzled looks on faces because no-one really knows what I've got, or how the performance I get can come from a little engine that don't rev high,

Even better is to do it N/A. It is priceless seeing people's faces when I open the hood at the track. It is especially fun when the buddies are around. "Dude, you just got spanked by a V6! It doesn't even have a turbo!" It makes me giggle everytime. And even if you do run across a bigger gun they are still impressed you were at least close. I hate following the crowd so this suites me perfectly.

LOL I remember those days in my old Skyhawk. The car would rock back and forth at idle and when I'd lift the hood I'd always have a sucker telling me "I can beat that thing". The look on their face at the end was priceless to say the least.:biggrin:

Great little engine and is way more cool and unique than the typical sbc.
