in high altitudes. At the Palmdale 1/4 mile strip (elevation 3000ft), which is about 1 hour away from me, V8s are supposed add 0.7 to their 1/4 mile time slips to correct for non-sealevel elevations. The more cylinders, the more the engine will suffer. Plus, the article is comparing a forced induction 4 banger to a N/A V8. Think of the facts and the credibility of the article next time you post something stupid like this.
