Look at it this way.....you have 2 extra cylinders and 1 more litre of displacement so I look at that as a snail if you get what I'm sayin.

You can make a 1.8L turbo motor put out 800WHP
you can't make a 3.5L N/A motor put out 800WHP

turbos make a world of difference.

Well you can actually......F1 car makes ~850 out of a 2.4L NA.

Then again they are limited to a measly 19k rpm. They also have tolerances so tight it won't start without the oil being pre warmed.

Their XSi is their "entry-level" DSLR now....I would suggest trying to find a better one though, maybe a used or refurbished. My dad bought a 40D that he has used once...


So I steal his lenses and use them on my camera


Look for a 20D or even better a 30D. You might still be able to find a new one for MAD cheap. I remember when circuit city went out of business...I was so mad, they were selling the 30D Kit ($1500 MSRP) for like $500, but you had to try and find which stores actually had it. I think I remember looking and there was ONE available at the Waldorf store. But I was too lazy to go down there and buy it. Check out http://www.bhphoto.com. They sell grey market stuff (JDM-This is for real actually-haha) and refurbished products as well as USDM product.

I thought F1 cars were 3.0 or less and ran turbos?
