Is the V8 dying?

you realize when in boost turbo cars eat through fuel faster than obese americans eat through food stamps on junk food.

V8s are here to stay, especially as V12s and V10s disappear

>even though gas is extremely cheap now
>now

Yeah, because we all know gas will always be cheap.

>an engine with forced induction is more powerful than a naturally aspirated one

no replacement for displacement

>Yeah, because we all know gas will always be cheap.
that's pretty much how Americans think though. Back in 08 they'd suck you off to get rid of an SUV at scrap value. now I see old overpriced hummers (H2/H3) driving around on donk wheels daily. burbs are even more numerous.

>Back in 08 they'd suck you off to get rid of an SUV at scrap value.
And yet the Ford F-150 was still the best selling vehicle in America during the recession.
Nice memes though.

I guess nobody remembers in 2013 when the US oil industry was in good shape and gas in my town was $1.99.

You forgot to put the asterisk.
*Only dohc v8s

Not an argument

Wrong

>i4 with turbo
>600hp tops
>v8 with turbo
>2000hp

yeah no

you don't need more than 50hp
anything over 100hp is sexist, zenophobic, racist, homophobic and islamaphobic

thats problematic

>you don't need
Fuck anyone who says this unironically.

Daily reminder that a LT4 crate engine puts out more power than a GTR's 3.8tt while being lighter and more reliable. It's also fuckloads cheaper to get a V8 into 4 figure HP levels than any other engine configuration.

>trucks sold good in comparison so the destruction of SUV sales was a meme
well well well...

but you dont, a i4 has more than enough power to get you to point a to point b

Unfortunately for you and your graph, the entire auto industry dropped like a stone but the Ford F-series was still the best selling vehicle in America during the recession including passenger cars.

Checkmate recessionists.

Apple sells a fuckload too, Doesn't mean it's not shit... It's called fanboyism. They sell so much because the truck falls apart after 4 years if your lucky.

Yes and?
I drive a V8 because i want to and because this is America, where i'm free drive the biggest gas guzzler i want without so much as a passing glance by the five oh you fucking commie.

Cuba is south of Florida and take your fucking "need"s with you.

Sure the l4 has *enough* power to get you there, but it has to really work for that power. That means that it will likely have issues sooner than a V8 that has more than enough power but barely has to work for it.

Therefore I need a V8 because I want a reliable engine that wont shit the bed in 4/5 years.

>2017
>Not using a kubelmotor

Plebs.

>kubelmotor
seems retarded.

forgot pic

It is the single most beautiful thing since the koenigsegg direct drive.

There is. MEP and RPM.

What the fuck is that 1/4" piping for a manifold

I don't think so Tim

bloody hell I've been here too long. I'd take the Corvette over the GTR purely because the Corvette has a supercharged (supercharger whine is pure sex) v8.

seems like a dumb meme engine like the Wankel.

I think you should be riding a 125cc scooter. Maybe even 50cc.

umm... excuse me, I ride the bus like a civilized person. UGH!

...

But if I want to import a Skyline its not okay and I should be forced to buy subpar domestic v8 trash.

Ok.

What was with those V8s in the 1970s with big displacements but shit horsepower?

It's a V6 and V6s sound like shit.

...

shit engineering to meet emissions

downtuned to meet emissions, nests of emissions equipment that worked half the time maybe

A lot of manufacturers lied about their output for insurance and safety reasons. I think the 428 Cobra Jet made something like 410 horsepower

still a v6 and still sounds like shit. What alot of bench racers fail to realise is that most people have to live with these cars. I'd personally like to hear the sweet rumble of a v8 with supercharger whine than a v6 with turbos.

sperg harder pushcuck.

function>form

The SRT group at Dodge seems to be having fun with it.

The government is protecting you from buying trash.

Emissions.

>function>form
Why not have both with a V8?

emissions and insurance. It was common for manufactures to detune and underrate their engines. Good example is the BOSS 429 Mustang.

...

not an arguement

>i4 or v6 with a turbo can make just as much if not more power
Apples to oranges. You're comparing forced induction motors to naturally aspirated ones. A forced induction V8 beats anything that isn't larger than 8 cylinders.

Damn right

Tell that to McLaren and Ferrari, who's twin turbo'd V8s lost to the twin turbo'd V6 GT

>trusting euros to get anything right

BTFO. eurocucks on suicide watch

It's not that the Euros make bad V8s, it's just that Ecoboost is on another level.
Pic is an example of a bad V8

Now that Trump ended up being just another Jew puppet, it appears so.

>ended up

Revealed himself unquestionably as*

>believing his tripe in the first place
This is why idiots shouldn't be allowed to vote.

>Merican
>Gets in a discussion he is about to lose sooner or later
>Gets rebated in the first response
>"Muh freedom, muh gas, muh burger"

Classier than the GTR vs Corvette meme

Wrong.

>rebated
???

I hate you

It wet itself

We are all dying man

V8 is stupid all engines should be l6. Prove me wrong.

I literally can't. V8 cucks BTFO!.

>he wants a mile long hood

>butthurt hoodlet.

>he wants a hood line higher than a white kid in a movie theater parking lot.

Hell yeah I do.

>EcoBus

>not tucking the last 2 cylinders into the firewall

>not wanting easy accessibility for servicing

>not wanting to remove your cowl real quick with 6 pop in pins and 2 torx bits, 4 10mm bolts

>pop in pins
>torx
now you've triggered me

V8, I6, H6, V10, and V12 are the only good engine layouts

Prove me wrong.

...

>i6
>H6

W16>everything you listed

>tripfag
>having an opinion worth anything greater than 0

>projecting
>anime folder

Lol anonymous

>v8s power the fastest cars on earth
>H6 powers the fastest track cars on earth

Wew. Notice how v6 isnt on the list

>v8 powers the fastest cars on earth
reminder that v8 cucks are this delusional. reminder that the fastest vehicle on the planet uses an Ecoboost v6.

How can I project my disdain for tripfags onto a tripfag?

>not having smug anime girls
tripfags are the epitome of plebhood

>he doesnt go 330 miles an hour in 4 seconds

Daily reminder that the fastest track cars are powered by v10s (F1 and snek). The fastest car around the nurburger was an H6.

Stay assmad.

>Bugatti Veyron
>powered by a W16 god machine
Somehow your claim that a V6 powers the fastest car just doesn't hold water.

>not production
lol, irrelevant and worthless times. lol.
drag racing goes onto cuck

>Ecoboost v6
>he unironically wants turbolag

not my fault you lack the self awareness to see you're projecting

the gt comes with an antilag mode. v8 fangirls on suicide watch

Drag racing doesn't belong on /lgbt/, but your sissy little v6s do.

Actually your V6 fetish is so strange that you should go to

...

>now he is cherry picking
Fastest racecars on earth are powered by H6s, V8s, and V10s.
The most well known and successful engine setup ever is the V8
Stay delusional

Take your sissy v6 elsewhere and get a flat or straight 6 if you want a real 6 cylinder

the fastest car on the planet is the rxc turbo r. stay mad v8 cuck

But I'm not projecting. I'm just saying that any opinion posted by a tripfag is automatically worth 0.
