Audi Ur-Q vs. Mustang 308

[bmxman 69]

Guys, why bother with the 302 anyways?

It's a little motor when you consider the abundant amount of larger ford 
small blocks available.  If I wanted to stay little I'd put a 351 Windsor in 
with a blower on top.  If i didn't want a supercharger, I'd say to hell with 
ford and bore out a 400 c.i.d. small block chevy to 427.

If I was really going drag racing, I wouldn't bother with a small block 
anything.  I'd pick up a 640cid aluminum donovan.  Strap a big blower on 
top, give it carillo rods and whatever else i could blow 50 grand on.

There's no real substitute for cubic inches.

Later
