Sowing machines go faster and use less fuel.
That's why. I love v8's too, but I don't really think its the way to go. |

oh I dunno.. V8 supercars seems pretty quick to me.
V8 or V6 or V12 isn't the only criteria.. you can have a V10 that is only 2 litres if you want.. that doesn't make it a bad engine.. likewise, you an have a lumpy 4 or 6cyl as well. my point was that having a rocking tappet cover is no criteria to judge a sporty motor on.. |

But i do agree (and i don't reckon there would be anyone that wouldn't) but you cannot beat the sound of a V8, even if it isn't as quick as a turbo 6, it still sounds awesome *drool* |

the 4.1 would kill it for torque though. those 4 speed manual s-packs flew for their day. considering its a dirt simple engine compared to the rb30 she went alright. peak kw is no measuring stick for how good an engine is ffs.
