What's the point of V8s anymore if they don't even set faster lap times...

What's the point of V8s anymore if they don't even set faster lap times? 6 cylinders literally power the fastest road legal cars on the planet.

You don't see Veeky Forums shitposting about getting into NASA. Why do you shitpost about being a professional driver?

Fun.

It's fun to be slower? Explain

so does this mean alphaggot is back

Dunno... What's the point of manual transmissions anymore?

Is this another sad attempt at rxc shitposting?
>still no laptimes

V8 engines have a fun character which can't be reproduced by a V6.

It's faster we've been over this.
>back
They also have a common theme of going slower.

function > form

Fun comes in all flavors. V8 is just different flavor. Split seconds mean little in regular day-to-day use which most cars see most often.
And if its tracked its the same - most ppl who track their cars are not professionals interested in winning cups and setting record times. But in having fun.

...

And that's not to say that V6 engines can't be fun. They're just different.

none. they are slower than auto
>b-but muh feels!

>still no laptimes to prove it
>only has a link from radical trying to hype up their new car
How many times do you have to get BTFO before you stop trying to make this threads?

daily reminder

radical > you

Benchracers will never understand

Except that's they're useless when naturally aspirated

>Why does thing exist?
Because people like thing.

Stop making garbage bait threads.

>damage control
Atleast we've established V6 engines are better.

Physical proof > attempt at hype

radical > you

Engineers are far more intelligent than a triggered cuck on the internet.

>This window will close in 3 seconds

Didn't Ford recall these engines for randomly stalling?

Basically V8 is far and away the best balance of power with reliability for the vast majority of drivers especially in the US and Australia.

Ecoboost fags are being seduced over to the envirocuck side with track-built masturbation fantasies. All consumers are actually going to get is poor low end torque, lag and problems problems problems at 50k miles and up.

>slower than a $3000 shitheap from 1995

The 3.5L Ecoboost engine delivers peak torque at 2500 rpm. A 6.2L pushrod V8 delivers peak torque at 4100 rpm. So no. You aren't going to have "poor low end torque".


Pleas refrain from BLATANTLY lying to people on Veeky Forums just to defend your shitty V8.
Nope.

>no argument other than "no"
Triggered, I see.

>projecting this early into the argument
Typical cuck move

>argument
You still haven't given me a reason to buy a slower, more expensive vehicle.

>slower and more expensive
Yes, V8s are indeed slower and more expensive.

>can't even outright beat a 918

just
shut
the
fuck
up

>v8s
Why are you bringing up v8s? I don't want one. I'm already faster.

>base model
Nice try, cuck. The R version is faster.
Assmad gm fangirl spotted

Except the V8 is under way less compression stock. If we throw longevity out the window and feed it the same boost let's see where the torque curves are at

I'm just posting laptimes for the car you just posted, no reason to get triggered

>still no laptimes for R version
You can't make this shit up

>hurr durr theoretical situations
GM doesn't turbocharge their V8s because it would destroy the MPG and emissions goals they set. V6s are superior, deal with it.
>918 is still slower than the Turbo R
Absolutely BTFO, kek

>MPG and emissions goals
>Literally an envirocuck

>no laptimes for R version still

>gm can't beat V6s in the real world with their V8s
As expected
>spoon feed me mommy!!!
Look it up, cuck

>still can't post laptimes for R version

Supercharge a v8 and boom instantly better

>Thinks an Ecoboost Mustang will beat a ZL1
or
>Thinks competition tier european laptimes for homologation specials are the real world

>spoon feed me mommy!!
see
>twin turbo V8 mclaren loses to a V6 F150 with a body kit
ABSOLUTELY BTFO

Just driving cars with different types of engines and feeling the differences is fun for me.

>no laptimes for R version
>trust me it's faster
When will shitposters get tired of being BTFO

>spoon feed me!!
Daily reminder that

Radical > you

If that was true though you'd post lap times for him.
The only reason you haven't yet is because either none exist, or it's not that much faster

radical > yo
Stay BTFO

>better

That's not a lap time and I'm still much faster

Absolutely BTFO
radical > you

>radical rxc v8
>faster than v6

Wew lad

>tfw sub 1 minute on that track
Those would make nice rainy day cars I guess

>V8s
>faster
>rainy
You're going to need rain to prevent the corvette from overheating.

GM BTFO

Wat? Why are you bringing up corvettes?
I'd like to see a v6 that is faster than my dd, please.

The RXC TURBO. Fastest street legal track car on the planet

Sorry, still on the slow side.

Puts track car against a camaro I mean come on why don't you compare a top fuel dragster and v6 camry 1/4 mile time

>radical v8 faster
>than a radical v6

Kek stay B T F O

Drag racing goes on >literally making things up after getting btfo
As expected

>still has no proof that a radical v6 is faster than a radical with a v8

I'd say you're B T F O triggered cuck

This thread is actually retarded, v8s are generally more efficient than v6s if you put a v8 on a 3 ton car vs a v6 on a 500 lb car of course the v6 will win

>this anally devastated his v6 loses to an engine architecture designed 60 years ago

What's the point of v6's anymore if they don't even set faster lap times? Flat 6's literally power the fastest road legal cars on the planet.

Friendly reminder that the ariel atom 3.5r btfo's your radical with a 4 cylinder

>Slower

>mfw this car is faster then anything with a v6 in it
>mfw shebby v8 modur

>Alphie raves about Ferd V6s
>they're literally dog shit
>keeps shitposting about a 500kg "car" that is marginally faster than cars three times its weight
lmao, another day on Veeky Forums

>europoor gets cucked in his 1.3 diesel fwd

another day on Veeky Forums

>drive a Ferd™Ecoboost™
>crap out on the middle of the road
Just a regular Ferd™ Ecoboost™ day.

>mfw i permatriggered the V8 cucks
top kek

>drive a 1.3 fiat fwd cuckbox

thats it, thats the joke

>getting cucked by Ferd™ Ecoboost™
>deliberately
lmao

>mfw people told me ecoboost wouldn't catch on
>gm fangirls so fucking triggered by me they spam cherry picked images in every ecoboost thread
This is why I'm king of Veeky Forums.

I'm not Alphonse, keep defending your cuckbox, lmao

>vapes away in his riced corolla
How's the rust going, bby?

Why would you respond to a shitpost?

>europoor drives a 1.3 diesel fwd cuckbox
>tries to make fun of anyone

please, keep digging your hole deeper, cuck

Please don't feed him (you)s.

>diesel fiat

>McLaren P1 has a TT V8
>Koenigsegignigigseggnigsegg Agera/Regera have TT V8s

What is your definition of "fastest road legal cars" because these are three of the fastest and use V8s

Go back to Europoor land and get raped by some sand niggers

see
The excess weight of a V8 offsets any gains around a track.

Why would you respond to a shitpost?

false

>this thread
>pic related
This thread has scarred the eyes of me, and everyone else who have viewed it. Everybody on this site is now 10 iq points dumber because of this thread. I give no keks, and may god have mercy on your souls.

Why would you bump this?

literal triggered GM fangirl

gm fangirls literally begging people to stop reminding them their favorite company is shit

Nope, deal with it. V8s are inferior for track performance. Even F1 racers use V6s in 2016.

I'm not a GM fangirl. I don't care about ecoboost, or LS motors, or F150s or Silverados. I do not care about one off race cars, Lexus, Ford, GM, Radical or Radical's severe blindness. I just saw this thread, and I began weeping as soon as I finished.

Because they want fuel efficiency you dumb mong

>V6 engines set faster lap times and get better fuel efficiency
What's the point of a V8 anymore? I'm not even memeing. They're just so worthless.

PLEASE STOP FEEDING HIM (you)S

The issue is companies like strapping turbo's to v6's because it creates insane amounts of power but not to much to be unstreetable.

Strap Turbos to v8's and you have unstreetable monsters.

V6s aren't better.

>they are slower than their v8 and v10 counterparts.

kek faster my ass. They are getting slower because muh efficiency.

>mercedes benz
>V8 cuckolds intentionally ignore the good racing manufactures

lol, V8 fags have hit a new low

the f1 v6 mclarens beat every v8 around a track

nice try

>he doesn't know that new F1 cars have better aerodynamics
>New Kers system that brings more HP for more time

All that and still slower than a naturally aspirated 2.4L v8.

>The FIA announced the intention to change the 2.4-litre V8 engines to 1.6 litre V6 turbo engines for the 2014 season. The new regulations include multiple energy recovery systems [21] and fuel flow restrictions, in order to make Formula One more environmentally aware and to attract more commercial partners.

The new formula reintroduced turbocharged engines, which last appeared in 1988. These have their efficiency improved by turbo-compounding and introduce more energy recovery systems – with power to be harvested from the brakes and exhaust gases.

They literally switched because they are cucks
top kek. Still slower than the old v8s
