Why do Amerifats use metric units to measure the displacement of their engines?

>get mad at us when we dont use metric
>get mad at us when we do

Why are yuropoors so hard to please? Why are they so obsessed with americans?

Our culture has gone to shit.

Smaller numbers. Plus most American engines are Japanese knock offs or secretly the same engine from 30 years ago that they want to seem newer (EcoBoost, Ecotec, any Chrysler v6).
Special credit to the Buick 3.8l V6 which is nearing it's 50th year in production.

Because America doesn't need to appease anybody other then itself.

Sour grapes.

>most American engines are Japanese knock offs

You know you can convert liters to cubic inches and advertise that number instead, right?

Oh, right, you don't, because of the educational system in your country, apparently.

literally everyone but americans use imperial for their engines

what the fuck OP???

Why don't britbongs use pints to measure the displacement of their engines?

Because 5.0 is meant to be big stronk murican flagship motor and if you convert it to cubic inches it's a teenie weenie 305cu

If you want some mad respect you gotta have a 440cu or 426cu not a damn 305cu

its actually a 302. so its 4.9

305 is bigger than 5.0.

In fact, it's over 60 times bigger. Or 6 times if you want to be super autistic and ignore the period.

i mean...you're math is sorta right but in application to this scenario it's completely wrong

nice same fagging

very

>posting from phone and computer

you forgot to take your pills user

This is why.
It was to trick older generations into buying this new low displacement garbage by confusing them.

302 vs 4.9 (5.0)
5 sounds bigger in reference to literage.
302 sounds like a little engine because muh v8 big block hurritage.

We could also say 5000cc but we aren't that autistic.

Honestly would you rather buy a 2.2l, a 134ci, or a 2200cc engine?

>most American engines are Japanese knock offs

literally what the fuck am i reading? the only example you can come up with of any japanese influence is ecoboost.

>Buick 3.8l V6 which is nearing it's 50th year in production.

But that engine hasn't even been used in anything since the mid 2000s? are there any factories on this planet still manufacturing them?

>ford's current i4s and v6s, chrysler's non-daimler v6s, gm's diesels

You're correct about the fireball though. It ceased production in '08, 3 years shy of 50.

2200cc sounds like Im buying a mad air cooed VW engine

M8

how do i make a 454ci engine into a 5.3l? What do I do to convert the cubic inches to a smaller liter?

Destroke I suppose, but would you really want to go from a 454 to a 322?

No, I mean if you have big cubic inches, can you fit them all into a smaller liter?

go back to primary school

>This guy 5 posts in

Don't ever get a 305 and a 5.0 confused again.
