Wed, 07 May 2003 13:13 V8's have their good points and their bad points. so do any of the 4's. same with 6's. no engine is perfect, it all depends on what the individual wants it for... as for the oil....well it'll all be fully synthetic soon so i don't matter if there's none in the ground!! but yeah, if we are simply talking raw power out of engines here, then it must be agreed that "nothing beats cubic inches". sure these "up-to-date" engines with DOHC and all that stuff to priduce power more effectively that the old V8, but most of these are turbo'd and are running a REALLY small car. every 4 cyl out there is running a car that proly weighs a good 500kg less than any V8 driven car out there (ie. Commodores etc) but put one of the v8's in a little tiny car....like an LH Torana and you've got one mean muscle car!! (read: "not rice") obviously the size of the car makes a HUGE difference in performance... yes, the 4's and 6's are WAAAYYYY ahead in technology than the V8 crowd are and good on them for that, it's good for everyone that they've taken this better way of doing things. But it is only a matter of time V8's start coming out with this technology .........then if they need more, they will go the way with turbo's, and once V8's come like that.......well......need i say more...????? what's next, we'll be comparing motorbikes to trucks....they are two COMPLETELY different things!! it all depends on what the OWNER wants out of it, no what other ppl want them to do.
