I think you'll find that there are alot of Skyline's and RX7's with balls, you just have to look a little further down the magazine rack than the V8 mags...

not saying the 6s dont get horses but how long do they actually last for?

most tough v8s will last for years and years if treated right

You know that isn't true, you just don't wanna accept the fact that some riceboxes have balls, and economy, and reliability, and durability, all in one.

But at the end of a day anything built for racing (or that is treated like crap) will not last that long.

Hahaha. In Chevy's sig he says "screw rice real horsepower v8 muscle."

How pre-homo sapien do ya wanna get? :tease:

The Holden/Chev V8 isnt the be all and end all of engines, Chevy. Broaden your spectrum a bit, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised...

EDIT: Spelling. Makin' myself look pre-homo sapien. haha.

EDIT: Did it again. haha.

guys, those skylines n any form of rice burning vehicle do not have anything under their hoods, just a box. they may hav good acceleration off the mark, but once the v8 kicks in, u dont see those ricers no more.
cos u guys dont hav licence yet, it makes it bit hard to really show off wat ya got, but wen u do, give those little men in their little plastic toys a good ass wipping.

small blocks and big blocks all the way

the turbocharged systems as most people know work best at higher rpms and no engine loves reving at high rpms its a fact

the best way to do it is have lots of low down torque with say a supercharged v8 which doesnt have to rev to get flying

meanwhile while your reving the absoulute out of your 6 to get this tourque the engine is going that fast its almost at its point of fuel cutting out and meantime the tourque curve has been and gone (for those who know all about the toiurque vs revs graph)

an engine is bassically based on torque and whatever can get the best lowdown torque would be the better engine most of the time

and a engine with more displacement will get torque quicker

i do like the turbo 6s in the toranas etc but give me a v8 anyday

That directly relates to the size of the turbo mate. Another over-generalization.

When you experience both. Hard tuned turbo/Stroked super charged V8. You will realise the only difference is the sound.

Supercharge looks neat.
Turbos look a bit messy mounted on the side and pipes everywhere.
One makes whiney noises.
One makes sucking noises.

I still like skylines and stuff though. =p

Depends what type of Supercharger you want. Turbo's can be kept under the bonnet, quiet, and push some HP.

I spose Centrifugal blowers give you that too.

But, when you think about it, The turbo is more than just a power source. It's amazing how economical Turbo's are.

Yeah they are economical. You can stay off boost and get some good mileage. But I guess you don't get that rumble...which goes back to the sound theory.

When speed limits apply I guess I'd prefer the v8...just for the rumble. Give it some revs at the lights make the car shake :spoton:

On a track I'd prefer the modern turbo car. Loves the high revs, won't have to fill up till the END of the track day, probably won't break anything. Can still drive home. They're just as fast.

jap cars, try to look all flash n that, but they hav noting in them, its all plastic accessories. nothing beats the grunt of a beast. they may look cool but its all show no muscle.
just like toranaz said, nothing beats the note of a muscle car.
