How can V8's even compete? There literally isn't a faster street legal V8

why are you coming a track car to a budget boomer mobile

>literally can't find a faster street legal V8
lol, btfo

V6>V8

V6 is objectively better than I6 though, because of packaging and weight.

V8 trumps both though.

Engine stroke would be too long for it tod rev without exploding, 5 valves add useless rotating valvetrain mass(and Ford has no experience with complicated 5v heads) so 4v would be better, and why the hell would you use an iron block?

The 918 is faster around Le Mans though.

>V8 trumps both
No.

>why the hell would you use an iron block?
It is a fetish you see, and it all started with my fathers 2RZ-FE.

The RXC Turbo 500R? Or just the base model that you cherry picked?

Straight-sixer is perfectly balanced, though. The only things as good as it are V12 and boxer engines. V6 is a rattlebox.

>why the hell would you use an iron block?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST

Mass production taken into account and all of its cost cutting measures in quality control, iron blocks take boost and other pressure related stresses better than aluminum (currently, at least)

Show me an example of that then. GM's 5.3 for example, that's a perfect A to B comparison, and both the aluminium and iron version can take a beating, and the internals fail before the block does, as it should be with any proper design.

I don't know of any good other direct comparisons where the aluminium block fails before the internals do. Usually, it's just that some iron blocks come with really tough internals that propagate this automotive rumor.

they can't

>yfw there are many, many i4s that will destroy this engine

More proof downsizing is the future and V8s are garbage.

Nah if I had a v8 based on my i4 I would be twice as fast. Would probably die though

Wouldn't be faster around a track

SORRY, I CAN'T HE-
Wait, I can hear you just fine over the sound of all the 11k horsepower V6s in the world.

>210 hp, 470 pounds
It prolly would just wheelie
The carfag has taken the bait :^)

>being this illiterate
>no argument
k

>no argument
But there are many, many faster street-legal i4s. That's an argument.

>V6 is objectively better than I6 though, because of packaging and weight.

Who the fuck cares about packaging? I want a nice I6 with a long bonnet.

>implying there's no street legal drag cars
we're talking engines here, not cars.

>I4
Nobody cares, we're talking about V8s. Learn to read.
No, we're talking about cars. An engine doesn't move, a car does

But what's the point of a v6 when you can get a much faster i4 for much cheaper?

Lap times or are you just talking shit?

>How can V8's even compete? There literally isn't a faster street legal V8.
Do you see the word "car" mentioned anywhere you dumb illiterate cunt?

>their literally isn't a faster street legal V8
>brings up horsepower when nobody mentioned it
We're talking about cars, dumbass. How does "faster" mean horsepower? Oh, right. It doesn't.

>lap times
Common sense, just walk into any motorcycle dealership
>but that's not a fair comparison!
Neither is comparing a GT car to a purpose-built track car.
Wanna shred almost any car ever built? It'll cost you five grand.
These threads are irrelevant.

>common sense
In other words, no evidence.
>wanna shred almost any car ever built
Lap times? lol, didn't think so

>these threads are irrelevant
Almost as irrelevant as V8s.

>I'm going to bury my head in the sand and pretend motorcycles don't exist
Oh okay

>backpedalling this hard
Right, your V6 mustang is faster than a nitro burner.

I think I'm done here.

>thread is about V8s
>decides to change the subject to I4 engines because V8s are shit
okay, buddy
>mad that you're illiterate
An engine can't move without a chassis and other components paired to it. A engine can't be "faster" than another engine. It can make more power but it can't be faster (unless you're talking about rpms). It's not my fault you're an idiot

>still hasn't actually addressed the point that v6s are slow

Faster than any street legal V8, stay mad.

What would I be mad about? I own much faster i4s.

Okay? I'm supposed to care?

>I've just been btfo, what do I do?
>i-i don't c-care guys, r-really!

>can't follow a subject
>moves to I4
>can't prove they're faster
k

>buries his head in the sand when confronted with facts
>arguments rooted in hypocrisy
Just no reasoning with the Ford pajeets, huh

>facts
Which are? You're making claims without evidence.

>ad hominems
typical

>ad hominem
See
>it's not my fault you're an idiot
Hypocrisy at it's finest, a typical shill strategy

Okay, we've established you have no arguments whatsoever that pertain to the subject and street legal V6s are superior to V8s.

/thread

if you say so

>responding to alphonse
lmfao

Lap times?

this is an engine thread
engines aren't measured by lap times

This is a vehicle thread. Engines can't be "faster" than each other unless you're talking about RPMs. Read OPs post again

ahh ya got me, I wish theyd post more lap times.
I believe they've only set a record at spa
koenigsegg.com/koenigsegg-one1-sets-new-lap-record-at-spa-in-practice/

Hopefully a nurburg lap time will come soon

They're slower than the radical Sr8 LM still.

so the op is retarded, who would've knew

t. assmad v8 fangirl

Ok, I will put a turbo on an LS. Can a V8 compete now?

>being this triggered
top lel

Sure if you have faster lap times.
>projecting your anal rage onto others

>Muh 35 liters
If only

How are the F150's lap times?

That's a v8 tho

What is a that a Chrysler Pentastar? It probably is because Fords V6s blow up all the time

It's a serious problem and the shills worst nightmare

Nice pic, looks like shit on a stick

I like how people always start shit about how LS engines are better than other V8s from ford and dodge but koeniggsegg is still using ford's architecture even though they make it themselves. Even the accessory drives are the same other than the dry sump.

SAVED AND RENAMED!

it just gets worse the more you look into it
>At the time, our 20 mpg-rated 2.7-liter EcoBoost 4x4 had averaged just 16.4 mpg with some 18,000 miles under its belt, a figure that trailed the 17-mpg combined rating of a 2015 Ford F-150 4x4 with the 5.0-liter V8 engine.

>v8 are too fast to be street legal

lol v6

ITT : Bus riders argue over engines they don't own.
