Which engine would you rather have?

Engine A:
>300HP
>300lb-ft
>6000RPM
>strong mid range, slight drop off at top

Engine B:
>325HP
>275lb-ft
>7500RPM
>linear power band

Engine C:
>375HP
>225lb-ft
>9000RPM
>strong top end, drop off at bottom

What do you pick and why?

B, it's the best out of the three.

you had me at linear power band user.
b.

C cuz revs

A is a wheezer no good
B is a boring no good

A or B

I don't want to rev to 9000rpm to pass a minivan or a crossover.

B
Who doesn't want a linear power band?

C, revs can't be beat.

Engine A should have 325lb-ft I think.

D: not enough info to solve equation

Hondafags who only see hp/l

A lot of people only see HP/L.
Pic for example. The ZX9 has a higher peak HP by a couple with 100cc less. You'd think the TL1000s was just slower, right?

C, I love high revving engines, but I wouldn't judge anyone who disagrees with me.

Every fucking time I forget the image.

Engine A for city, Engine B for racing on the touge.

With an American V8, you have a very satisfying feeling of power even during normal daily driving. You can always feel the torque pulling you even on light throttle.

A screamer feels like shit down low, but as the noise/power/vibration gets increasingly more obnoxious as you head toward an 8000+ redline, your excitement and nervousness also skyrocket. It's thrilling.

Nothing wrong with linear power, but both sides of the spectrum have their benefits too.

>A screamer feels like shit down low
What is variable valve timing

What else do you want from me?

Engine F
320HP
950lb-ft
1200RPM
Just makes noise

Vvt can't make up for that much extra displacement

Engine S:
>310HP @5000RPM
>376lb-ft @2500RPM
I rather have my own.

Engine B is very close to my beloved VQ37 so that gets my vote.

I don't want dispacement. I want my car to be calm and civilized when I'm just driving it around the city, but I also want a racecar engine for when I want to go fast.

A, I want me torks

engine c
any other answer is irrelevant for performance

A.
>t; area under the curve

>t; area under the curve
too bad anything under 3000rpm is irrelevant even with tall gearing, so it has a usable powerband of 3000rpm
engine b would have a usuable powerband of ~4000rpm
engine c would have a usuable powerband of ~5000rpm

>too bad anything under 3000rpm is irrelevant even with tall gearing, so it has a usable powerband of 3000rpm
Too bad that's made up stuff and opinions bro

lets assume engine a is an ls1
its the truth, look at how high the stall converters are on all ls drag cars

Okay well it's impossible for a powerband to only last until 3000 and produce 300hp with only 300ft-lb torque

i mean from 3000 to 6000

Depends on what chassis it's going in and its intended purpose.
This is a stupid question.

Who said anything about displacement? Displacement doesn't dictate powerband. You're assuming that all screamers are low displacement 4 cylinders and that vvt can't replace muh merican vee ate torks.

And funny enough, boost is a great for making up displacement.
Ford ecoboost v6 outperforms the v8 down low.

I'm guessing he wants the application.

engine Å
0,00002 hp
0,0015 lb-ft
8000000 rpm

Engine D
>200HP @ 4200 RPM
>370lb-ft @ 1800 RPM

>Engine A:
Murica V8

>Engine B:
Euro V8

>Engine C:
Some japan shit

>t. diesel cuck

(A) because torque a best and redlining is for race cars and Honda drivers.

>Some japan shit
What could that be but a turbo wankel

>Engine C:
>Some japan shit
>not a Ferrari v8
Pleb.

>Ferrari V8
>not even 400HP

Depends entirely on what vehicle it gets dropped into.

If you don't recognize that fact, then you shouldn't be allowed to post on an automotive board.

C

I don't care for acceleration or torque (or even power for that matter)
What I want is the feel you have when you climb up on the RPM and don't stop until the redline. The higher it is, the better i feel.

Engine a is literally a 1uz vvti

Not much low end strong mid punch and no power to speak of at 6500

OP assumes it's a RWD sports car

The F355 has 375 hp

ill take the LS motor all day!
Light weight and makes big boom

>corvette_oil_leak.jpg

It sure does
