Why would you go for 8 cylinders when you could have 6 cylinders with all the upsides and none of the downsides?

third point is applicable to any air breathing engine
also an inline 6 is smoother for luxury vehicles.

No, it wouldn't. Especially not around a track.

>inline 6 is smoother for luxury vehicles
Maybe 20 years ago. Sure, I6s are inherently balanced, but that doesn't mean that V6/V8s can't be smoothed out with clever engineering. At this point, V6s and V8s in luxury vehicles are smooth enough that they're comparable to I6s in luxury vehicles.

The i6 is also dying out, unfortunately. Who aside from BMW still uses them?

Mercedes and Jag have them in the pipeline

Toyota has been making super smooth V8s since the late 80s, with the UZ engines.

>still eats gas
>NA still makes less power than V8

Rolls Royce have been doing it since the 50s

even so, the JZ engines still existed for a reason. Inline engines allow for lots of space for FI piping.

Cadillac have been doing it since 1914

Impossible.
You'd have to use forced induction on the v6 to make comparable power, which adds complexity and reduces reliability and response.
Equally impossible is making a v6 sound as good as a v8.

Atleast it still outperforms it's V8 competitors.

>computers are better at putting down power than a human

no one is surprised, more at 11

>excuses
BTFO!!!

Why would you go for 6 cylinders when you could have 4 cylinders with all the upsides and none of the downsides?

BTFO!!!

Who exactly do you think I am? Did I really hit a nerve that hard?

>unironically posts a 4age

Go to bed.

I have an inline 6, oh wait you mean that piece of shit V6?

I would rather a V8.

Enjoy being slower

V8's are typically smoothed out by having fuck huge motormounts so you won't notice the vibration.

My M62tub will move quite a bit in relation to the car but you won't feel it because the motormounts are so well built.

that's comparing more than just an engine type. maybe take a fully built V6 and get the cost of that, then see what can be done to a V8 for that money. then compare outputs

>excuses
>a V6 literally outperforms a V8

>Still beat by a V8, on the burger ring.

I can pull lap times that justify my argument too dumbass.

>he needs 30,000 dollars more to beat a V6

30k?

The radical Sr8 was 162kwhen it came out, whats the price of godzilla?

150k?

I know the GTR is a better track car, we're talking about engines, not drivetrain/suspension.

It costs 180k.

Ford Australia. (Soon to be dead)

>implying 4A-GE isn't a god among lowly beggars in the motor world

Wake up.

This is the most retarded argument in history.
>6 is greater than 8
It is literally that retarded.

It isn't, especially in the GT's case. If it had a V8 they would have to completely redesign it to fit. Thus adding more weight and making it slower around a track.

>4age

Damn, you summerfags are relentless in your collective stupidity.

They've also made some smooth V6s with the VZ engines

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>pistons

God that makes an ugly Porsche 944

Turbos aren't light instruments senpai

>A V8 is too big
>twin turbo DOHC V6 isnt

>944

???

What about 3 rotary piston wankel?

Shit gutless engine

toyoda knows to balance an engine, would love to drive, let alone be in a Century.

So much this.

>why would you want torque when you could have a weak engine?

You're a fucking retard.

To be fair, my '87 GN made more torque than my 2010 SRT-8 and the only mod it has was an adjustable wastegate running +4 lbs of boost.

Because ALL HAIL V8!

That's the wrong 6 cylinder configuration.

The only reason was the noise why I did choose V8 in stead of 6 cylinder turbo.

V8's don't sound like a buzzing beehive

>new Jag i6

No V8 in Ford's lineup would fit in the engine bay, jackass.

>completely redesign it to fit

Are you retarded?
Are you implying they didn't develop the 3.5l ecoboost specifically for the GT and at the same time?
Are you implying they couldn't design a new V8?

>wasting money on a V8 that can only be used in one car
Besides a turbo V8 still weighs more than a turbo V6.

>V6 instead of V8
>Not Twincharged I4

Nigga did I just catch you not giving a shit about the engine bay?

And also makes a shitton more power

>muh power
>muh sound
More horsepower doesn't mean faster lap times. The 918 proves that when pitted against the P1. Stay delusional, moron. Ford chose lightweighting and handling over muh horsepower.
