Be yuropeon

We need V8's to haul around all of our fat, overweight, useless people you dummies.

Europe is like 50% Arab right now and those violent losers are skinny as fuck, and sure as fuck don't need to get anywhere fast anyway (because they would just mow through a crowd of tourists because they are all asshole terrorists).

Trust me eurobro. It's better this way. It is the invisible hand at work.

P.S. Sorry if you are a muzzie. Fuck Allah

Pic related: Literally a V8 car that highschool age kids working part time at an ice cream store can buy.

The v12 has more power and torque at every single rpm
It can also be sneezed on and it's cranking out 1000hp+

But compare an understressed luxury car engine to a piece of shit corvette z06 glass cannon that can't even run at full power for two minutes without shutting itself off
Like that's some fucking achievement LMAO

>Literally a V8 car that highschool age kids working part time at an ice cream store can buy
yeah not in that condition though

Also gm has never ever made a 700hp production car engine Lmao

And none of this detracts from the shitty smog Era v8s that made barely any more horsepower than a Japanese 4 cylinder of the same Era
LMAO AMERICANS LITERALLY CANNOT COMPETE

It's amazing what you can afford when you don't spend all your money on video games and mountain dew. I had buddies in high school that had $30k brand new cars, My dad and uncles had almost brand new Camaro's and Firebirds when they were in high school.

>Implying we keep anything stock...
Who gives a fuck about production engines? We have the freedom here to modify our shit at will.

lets see that Japanese 4 cylinder move 6000lbs without blowing a head gasket.

And Europeans can't buy their supercars, what's your point? Any American retiree can afford a $70,000 Corvette.

>freedom to modify shit at will
Not if you live in the two most populated states in the nation :^)

Not like you can squeeze any more power out of the shit lt4 anyway Lmao, they blow rods out the block in 6 miles in srock specification ROFLMAO

>6000lb
Put a healthy person in the driver's seat and it won't be so bad LMAOOO

>American retiree
You mean Americans need to work and save their entire lives to buy a 70k car?
Top kek!!!

oh hell there mr. bait.

NY and California don't matter. Everybody is waiting for those faggots to sink into the ocean. The LT4 powered Camaro is setting records on the Nurburgring and is faster than literally 99% of the cars on the road in Europe.

70's land yachts were close to 6000lbs empty, Hence the need for the 8 liter engine. I learnt that big engines are needed for big things when I was 5 years old from fucking Mighty Machines. Nice education system you got there.

>europe

How to spot a dumb ameribetic 101

Um is that a cemetery/

Micro machines bro

Just move to straya, here we have almost every type of car, Amerifat V8's, euro econoboxes and a heap of jdm i4's and i6's. Oh and of course our god spec Aussie cars like the R8 maloo (pic related).

POST V8S TO MAKE EUROKEKS JELLY BOYS

it's not like they're going to complain

>drive 5 over the limit

no thnks m8

>post burgergurglers m8's!

>posts V6 fourth gen pontishit shitbird with the GM 38shitblock shitries II.

You are an embarrassment. You can go over the Trump wall too asshole.

but I keep hearing that the X65 is slower than the X63.

But no guns tho...

Fix that shit straya so I can defend myself against Bikie gangs, lebbos, Abbos, and bogans, and I'll move there in a second to improve your gene pool, starting with her mum's arse m8.

>two most populated states don't matter
Lmao I love this argument
Try again

>Lt4 powered camaro
No records set at the nurburgring other than needing a Supercharger to beat a naturally aspirated Mustang LMAO

Still doesn't change the fact it's a piece of shit engine

>needing a gun to defend yourself
Sorry seppo but we don't need any weak cunts here. Fists or fuck off

Trust me, there are guns over here. But literally 99% of suburban areas are safe. As long as you're not a fuckwit, you'll never need a gun.

>drive 5 over the limit
>be friendly with the cop
>get off with a "don't do it again"

You won't get your car impounded unless you're retarded.

>Still doesn't change the fact it's a piece of shit engine
Don't worry. Chevy's working on an all new DOHC LT5.

Yeah like that would be any better
If it has gm stamp it's shit end of story Lmao

The last time GM made an engine with the RPO code LT5, they themselves didn't make it. The original LT5 was also a DOHC 32 valve 5.7L 350 Chevy small block. The cylinder heads were designed by Lotus, and the engine itself was built my Mercury Racing.

That """shit engine"""" will make more power than a million+ dollar supercar with a couple grand in mods.

nice false flag fag

And it will last 3 miles before kabang! instead of 6 miles like a bone stock corvette does Lmao

kek
1.8l japanese i4: 190 hp

>>only the super rich can have v8's
Maybe in your shit country. Can't believe I'm telling this to a European person, but Europe isn't one country.
Over here a nice V8 BMW will cost you around 1.5k, the yearly insurance for an inexperienced driver will be like 400 euros. 200 euros if you have been driving for like 5 years or more. LPG costs around €0.50/liter
If you think that's what only the super rich can afford, you're seriously fucked in the head

We can buy euro or jap v8s lol

>imblying amerigan v8s aren't for torks

>invisible hand
but europe is a communist country

>Be americlap
>can't get a tvr or this magnificent bastard
>all because muh safety
The gov't can fuck off and let me go out in a fiery car crash

>If it has gm stamp it's shit end of story Lmao

Too bad the LT1 and LT4 are just further evolution of the small block V8, the best V8 ever made.

Sure you can hate GM, Chevy, and America, but you can't honestly dislike the genuinely great engineering of the small block family. No other engine so accessibly and easily allows the same level of performance. Good engineering is just obvious and it's really hard to deny that GM has had a great history of building top notch engines.

Sorry everyone, but history proves this right.

>25 year law
I can't wait to start getting some TVR's imported

wow get a load of this /pol/cuck

TVR's are over hyped memes. Whatever that is looks like a slightly more aggressive Miata. Make one of these if you want to die in a blaze of glory.

...

That's because American use oversized engines on shitboxes, which is pointless
While in America u DD a shitbox with a 3.5L V6 190hp, europoors shithoxes are like 1.6 105hp or 2.0 Diesel 170hp
>15l/100 vs 6l/100
And it would pay almost the same taxes as a GTR

eurofags can buy japshit for cheap as fuck you retard. you are aiming for the wrong shit.
Reference of fact:

I love the trolls on Veeky Forums
Dont even hide being cucks in high school that have never lived life.
So ez, so sweet.

referes to europe as a country

How to spit a false-flagging americuck

I had a V8 when i was 23, maybe you should GET A JOB

>only the super rich can have v8's
Not true.
I could buy and tax a 540i or an E430 for peanuts

Even a 850

>Living in Cuckistan or Jew York
Literally not Americans.

GM gets a DOHC in 2019?! That's some inovating technology

>be american
>get V8 at 15
feels good

> live in britain
> a year's insurance costs more than your entire car

Sour grapes af

Twice as much for a new driver
Socialism is great

I don't know how you can discredit the LS engines for having pushrods. They make more power than comparable engines and are super light and compact. The fact that they weigh less or the same as dohc 4 cylinders, while able to fit in the same space and make 2-3x the power, is all the information that matters.

>American pretending to be European

>Any American retiree can afford a $70,000 Corvette.

usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2016/09/06/car-loans-now-top-1-trillion-delinquency-rates-rise/89911210/

A M E R I L O A N S

Is it 1980?

Yeah I know, pushrods are superior in everyway, a shame that only the Americans can see their true potencial

in what kind of a shithole do you live op, france? UK?
Getting a V8 car in Switzerland (pic related) won't cost you much more insurance and tax wise than your average 1.5l TDI shitbox.

I'm not OP, but from where Im from (Portugal) if the car is older than 25 years old it doesn't pay taxes. For the cars that pay taxes you can pay like 50€/year if it's a 3.0 diesel but if it's a 3.0 petrol the tax is something like 400€/year, that's one of the reasons people mostly use diesels here

The diesel craze is easily the worst thing about motoring in europe

OP is american

>be american
>your first car is mint 3gen camaro z28
>be europoor
>your first car is rusted out 1l fiat uno thats arely holding together

just.jpg

huh that's interesting. diesel saving the world yet again

Yes. It's because you're European, not because you're poor.

then why are they switching to DOHC?

Well you're not supposed to put diesel in it you animal! That's why it broke in 4 days. You are supposed to put gasoline in the tank like a civilized human being

The diesels are part of what allows us to do light towing without having to buy a fucking work truck. Also diesels will chug on to 250 kph on the Autobahn just like petrols if they're powerful enough and geared adequately.

>GAIZE TURBO MAKES MORE POWER DAN NATURAL!!! LOL AMERIKA SUXX AMIRITE XD

European TWIN TURBO V8 (Lotus esprit): 200hp

Kys

Actually that was a turbo 2.2L I4, and it made 210 hp. By the last generation the turbo four made 300 hp. The V8 was detuned from 500 hp to 350 hp to preserve the shitty glass transmission.

>Americans get all the good cars and i'm stuck with a 1L econobox that I can barely afford to keep fueled up because it takes so long to find a parking spot.

And such is life in yuropooria

>be european
>you first car is a dieselbox
>you can do trips in europe AND keep your hearing because your car does 130 on the autobahn at 2k RPM

I have a petrol chinkshit honda civic and the engine is always screaming at 3k RPM

The DOHC is probably coming into play out of necessity. They've proven that the LS and other Small Block V8 series engines can make ridiculous power with add-ons, but in order to keep engine costs down AND get more power out of a factory car, it makes sense to move to developing DOHC.

That, and let's not forget why the C7 Corvette is the way it is. GM is trying to shake off the "old man's sports car" and "blue collar dream" persona of the Corvette line.

They've also gotten really serious about competing with other companies like Porsche. They still have a long way to go but all of this helps explain why the C8 will probably be mid engine and why the LT5 is going to be so different.

They're trying to make a better car, and I have pretty good faith in their ability to do so.

Get a cheap motorcycle and hit those mountain passes stupid burgers will never ever see.

A €5000 bike will be insanely faster than any car Veeky Forums drives and will consume much less.

>be dutch
>gas cost 1.60 a litre
>the taxes for an lpg and diesel motor make it so that it's more expensive to drive on those two than on gas
>never will be able to afford a card that uses more than 10l per 100km

...

They did it because they were on the edge of that technology and it made the car unreliable, and they decided to move on, 50 years behind other brands, but I mean, they are in the right direction

I unironically like turbo V6s
sure they dont sound as good as a v8, and honestly some sound awful but they put out really good power which is all I ask for
I don't mind a 4cyl either if it can make me go speedy

>50 years behind other brands

I guess that's why the Corvette performs well today.

No, they pushed and are still pushing their tech to new heights, but they're also moving to different design choices.

It's pretty comparable to how Porsche switched to water cooled engines for the 911, but not as drastic as far as need.

Literally nothing wrong with their approach and choices so far

>we live in a world where a pigfat camaro faster than most yurop supercars

>Run for two minutes before it shuts off
I think you mean Tesla bud :^)

>These two buckets are full of shit so you must care about the shit buckets right?
Nobody outside of New York cares about New York. Same with Cali. Or more accurately, nobody outside of New York or Cali cares for the people who like in NY or cali

i dont even know what that is

is that some yuropoor shed car?

It's a Ginetta G40 a british sports car

Double wishbone suspension all around
880kg light as fuck, lighter than a miata
Has no abs no traction control none of the nanny assists.
Power by a inline 4 making around 140hp

Yeah even F1 cars would be all pushrod, but pushrods got banned from F1 because GM would win.

Implying that the Z06 actually works for longer than that

stay mad, fly over filth

My brother has a shed/small scale kiwi built 70's sports car that makes about the same horsepower with a 2liter

Are the English still that bad at making shit?

On the upside, we burgers can into kit cars without too much pain
