IRA11Y Forums Junkie Club Member Location: sydney Registered: May 2002	Yeah big is better.. if were comparing sizes :) Wed, 07 May 2003 10:10 couple of things that maybe we should all be thinking about here..... in the future we wont be using fuels as we know it, more likely it will likely be a ethanol/methanol or hydrogen fuel well be using and with the way enviromental changes are happening big cubes will slowly be a thing of the past. You can see the changes happening allready, other than USA (United States of Assholes) and Austfalia..the only two countries that dont give a shit about polution (re Keyoto Protocol) engine design is pretty much settled around a 1.6-1.8L design for the larger family car. One day youll tell your grandkids about a 5.0L V8 and theyll look at you with a quizical look Another thing that was touched on was the Wankel engine (rotary) the car companys that did not investigate this technology were very afraid of it and have done a very good job at downplaying there performance but if there had been as much money poured into there design as the 4 cylinder over the years the we would have a very efficient and powerfull small displacement engine today. Shame about the scaremongers on that one!!! I havent really driven a lot of big cubes cars but the few I have I always disliked the heavy handling, great for straight line but you need a lot of metal to hold a lot of metal and that means body roll no matter how good your suspension. one other thing I noticed is that its all good and fine to have all that HP but how do you get it to ground without spinning the wheels, by the time most big cars eventually get traction a smaller turbo or S/C car is long gone and hard to catch bigger cubes = more power but it also costs a LOT of money to get it to ground and make it want to corner on the other hand....
