Tue, 06 May 2003 20:28 no replacement for cubic displacement eh? haven't heard that for a while actually. anyone see that twin turbo orange celica in zoom some time ago - putting drag racers to shame due to the amount of $$$ spent on it? i think there are pro's and con's to this argument - having driven high revving 4's and low revving v8's its what you want - you wanna cruise around with no effort - sure, go a 304/302 - lovely, buckets of torq, great sound, drinks petrol like nothing else, but hey. on the other end of the scale, theres high revving 4's - sure if you don't mind winding out the gears a bit - or driving in effective boost range, cool. its what you want outta life ya know. effectively i'm with GT from a few posts up - the combustion engine is doing the same shit it was doing over a hundred years ago - piston goes up, stops, then comes back down. how much energy does that lose in that function alone????? the only real difference thru the years has been mazda with the rotary and mr sarich (ala orbital) engines - but essentially whether its 7 litres in capacity or 1 litre in capacity they're still doing the exact same thing! sure, we've gained overhead cams, less friction components, less mass in rotating components, fuel injection, computers but we're still doing the same thing. its about time they took the combustion engine and turned it on its ear - do something different - what i don't know? someone out there will - dunno how many billion people there are in the world but someone must know a better way! my $0.02 (+GST) for the morning.
