>thinking 500 is a lot with a twin turbo v8

500 out of a (213ci) 3.5l is pretty good
not many chevy 350s (5.7l) get that after being modded to hell

Jag F-type and TVR Cerbera 4.5, too lazy to get clips

How does AMG make their engines sound so unique?

>post oil crisis
There's your problem

Shame that above 5500 the Cleveland is losing power trying to breathe through that shitty Autolite.

Just because you can take it to 7k doesn't mean there's a point to it.

Literally sounds like a fucking 4 banger

Bullshit, taking any Detroit V8 to even 500 hp is easy as fuck.
The aftermarket can carry these engines anywhere you need to take them.

Literally inb4 someone invariably posts a Pantera.

>americans need not apply

dude my v6 has more output than that. hp and torque. I bet my torque line is flatter too. This is shameful.

Should I mustang my lexus?

This sounds pretty fucking mean.

>thinking 500 is a lot with a twin turbo v8
That's common thinking here in yuropooria actually

it's bad.

Best none burger v8 here

Holden V8 MASTER RACE

>none burger v8
Someone should tell him...

>Holden
So it's a Chevy engine.

wasn't it designed in aussie for a aussie car. might be aussie?.

It's funny how strayans think they're so badass for getting these huge v8s which are comparatively tiny compared to some of the shit turned out of Detroit.

If it was HG,HT,HQ a option for a small block chev was had..
That stopped until 1999 when the LS1 replaced the 304CI in the Commodore.
As for race cars I believe last holden 5.0/304 that won Bathurst was 1993 with Larry Perkins.

how old? I have one of the first V6s. A V8 with 2 shopped cylinders.

The original Holden V8s are mirrors of Pontiac engines.

not a aussie but i will defend what works and the aussie based V8's fucking worked may it be like of the 253/308/304 Holden or the Aussie built and spec'd Cleveland.

Hell even the Leyland P76 V8 deserves a mention.

But if you choose to ignore that, you're just a cunt.

Proof? They bill it as if it were designed from scratch to meet design requirements

Implying everything isn't copy from something.

>tfw no Pontiac with lots of boost.

I'm not ignoring it, they fact that you get V8s while yuro squalors in 3 liter V12s is worth mention but there's no end to the errant strayans who claim how mad max they are because 2% of the cars on the road have a wheazy ford/gm V8.

pic related, chevy 350 on the left, pontiac 350 on the right.

Obviously no parts will interchange.
There was a point in time when GM brands all had their own in-house engines.

I meant that in a more open sense. As in still a push rod v8. Only so many way you re-invent that. Not that people won't stop trying, which is good. Means we get thing like Mountain Motors.

Someone needs to figure out how to retrofit the SW20 Turbo transmission into this. Would make the car so much better. You could actually run the engine at its potential.

that was for To tired for this.

I'm picking up what you're putting down.

The secret that nobody will tell you is that Ford Cammer engines are actually Hemi's just like the...Hemi's but of course Chrysler owns that trademark.
There's always a lot of stolen ideas.

>not knowing the glory of Pontiac 400's and 455's
Stay mad cuck

Of course 500 hp isn't a lot if you do all your racing in a straight line.

True that, stolen idea to make fast shit faster.

Now it just make cars that are just not interesting really.

>bloo bloo bloo american v8s 150hp

>Pontiac 400
An absolute dog of a motor

Been thinking about a Lexus, is there a benefit to getting a GS430 over a GS300? Doubt I'd do any mods to it. According to Wikipedia the fuel economy is less than 10% worse, but I'd do a lot of driving in town.

The 430 has a V8, the 300 has muh 2JZ.

I know, but is the V8 better as a stock engine, difference in power that I have no use for aside?

They're both pretty great. The 2JZ is just memed because the turbo variant can make stupid amounts of power, the NA version is a bit weaker though still reliable and smooth as fuck.

What are you on about 400's were great when the car had good airflow.
Good balance between low end torque and high RPM power

mate high rpm power is just more torque

>Americans need not apply
What does that mean?

Foreign faggot doesnt know about my 455...

Aka 8 trillion crown vics. I got one.

>muh 572 crate block easily bored and stroked and blown.

...fuck yes

>should I not only become a pain in the ass to my community but also go on my own fucking nerves

Yup. LOVE my 455

A port&polish and deep cam can take a stock small block to 500 hp.

hnnng you cleaned that up didn't you

That's a 3 litre V6 none of this 4 banger bullshit.

It's a 1MZ and it has 4 times as many cams as these shitty motors.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST TAKE ME NOW

>Americans need not apply
Kek. Are V8's even street legal in those hyper-liberal cuck states you call Europe?

Basically all the nastiest Pontiac production engines displaced 400 cubes- Yeah they stuck a lot of 2bbl versions in a lot of shit but the 400 was their most tinkered with powerplant.

>Any Mopar Hemi

Eurofags can't tell me what to do.

Yes. Have you been fortunate enough to receive a school education? Because your question suggests otherwise.

>when Americans don't build 16 litre Cobras near me

Not him but i'm fairly sure most V8s on the market violate Euro 6 emissions.

Why would they be on the market if they are illegal?

hobbyists. Specifically i meant American V8s and older yuro V8s from before Euro 6.

You think they are forced to scrap older v8's when the new Euro regulations come in?

why has no one posted the montreal yet?

Not yet.
Soon though
High displacement engines conflicts with emissions narratives.

Everyone can apply, this is an international board.
I hate it when americans do this so euros shouldn't be doing the same, besides V8 seriously? you are playing at their home base.

fuck this bait, saged

>blablahblahblah unsubstantiated unprecedented bullshit is coming very soon despite no signs suggesting so

...

>history can't predict the future

Enjoy it while it lasts, Germany has called on the EU to ban ICE by 2030.

>cleveland, ohio

Do you genuinely not know what unprecedented means

The 1st gen ISF was a piece of crap.

It means that it wouldn't be fair if we were allowed to post up LS engines.

Nothing has ever had to be scrapped, you brain damaged moron. The only thing we ever had to do was add turn signals to pre-war cars after the war, other than that everything in the history of cars has had grandfathering rights.

>Nothing has ever had to be scrapped,
Where did i say that?
You cucks just won't be able to take them on the road

Silly american. You can drive w/e you want here as long as you have the money.

The only jag i'd ever own.
Luckily in murica they're fairly cheap right now.
Unluckily i'm flat broke.

XJS is fine taste but why wouldn't you also want the likes of a E Type, XK Drophead or a MK2 sedan.
