Can somebody tell me why Veeky Forums hates V6s so much?
>Ford 3.5L EcoBoost

Turbo V6's are clearly better than turbo V8's for track performance. So why would you want extra weight if you're trying to create a lightweight track vehicle?
>can someone tell me why Veeky Forums hates V6s so much
memes. v6s are lighter and make the same power output. It's ridiculous to use a v8 now adays anyways.
>2017
>folks still believing there's no replacement for displacement
It's called a turbocharger, dumbass.
It's a meme, pre 2010 v6 though.
Fucking kek
>Turbo V6's are clearly better than turbo V8's for track performance
Turbos in general aren't great for track performance. An NA V8 > turbo 6 for track use.

They sound like shit and have no personality. Perfect for the normalfag who's given up on life. I'd rather have an I4 with a fart cannon than a V6.
" ti doesn't feel right this is a v8 kind of car" i am getting the mustang ecoboost soon,
>implying a turbocharger isn't just a way to increase the displacement of an engine
Did anyone else notice the massive jump in hp post 2010?
In the early 200s having 300whp made you pretty awesome in a lot of places. Having a FWD shitbox with 170hp was pretty nuts as well. But today everything seems to roll off the lot with 250hp on fwd and 350+ on RWD setups.
Seriously, the FIesta ST has more power than a 2009 V6 Mustang.
Shit just went nuts after 2010.
not really. v6s are faster around tracks.
What if you're trying to create a reliable, economic, and long lasting road vehicle?
>I'd rather have an I4 with a fart cannon than a V6.
So all things being equal you'd rather have less power and torque along with your engine sounding like ass thanks to the fart can.
Veeky Forums everybody
>v8
>economic
That 3.5 is already at the limit where as the LT4 will easily get to xxxxhp without breaking a sweat. inb4 memes.
They sound like a fucking queef too.
Then you don't use a gm engine known for exploding within 1000 miles and a complete inability to be pushed hard for longer than a few minutes
>4.0L V6
>210hp / 240 lb-ft
>1.6L I4t
>197hp / 202 lb-ft
Considering thats 60% difference in size and they are pretty damn close, that's rather impressive.
>the lt4 will easily make four figures
No it won't
The Supercharger is already pushed to its limits and the engine is made out of cheap shit cast Chinese metal that breaks under factory power
A 600hp Corvette gets 40+mpg's on the highway. Displacelets, When will they learn?
...
*Citation needed*
Yes it will. The stock supercharger is good for ~700whp. Bolt on a procharger and your at 4 figure power levels.
lmao, gm fangirls btfo
youtube.com
Why do other manufacturers even try?
I don't hate v6's, I just think they sound like shit
>Expects me to belive an avertisement video of a pair or rednecks coasting downhill
Lmoa
That's what I am implying. It's a way to replace the need to increase displacement by giving the characteristics of such.
>Bolt on supercharger and you are at 4 figure oil temp
ftfu
It's because even cheap shitboxes come with turbos now. We're in the turbo era
...
Then look up the thousands of other examples while you live with 0.7l diesels getting the same mpg's.
>driving a stock vehicle
Why are you even here?
Why did they call it the Ecoboost? it sounds like some pissweak engine you'd find a smart car; did ford want it to fail.
...
because it's class leading technology.
With use of its 4 over drive gears and half the cylinders shut off:^)
Still not though Lmao
>thousands of other examples
Post them
>.7l diesel
Would get like 140mpg
Try again cuck
>Do my homework!!
It is up to you to prove a corvettebcan do 40 mpg
Amcorvette coasting downhill might get 40mpg highway, they sometikes get sub10 mpg city
>Liking the corvette
Why are you even here?
Is your pathetic engine too weak to turn those overdrive gears or something? That's with the cylinder deactivation disabled. Have fun paying those displacement taxes and "gas guzzler" tax on a 1.1l ;)
Because turbos reduce emissions and are more eco friendly. I think the first ecoboost engines were in small econoboxes then they just decided to call all their turbo engines that
>Cant prove a corvette gets 40 mpg
Why are you still replying
youtube.com

Of course that wont quench your 'Tism though.
>Look at all these other cars coasting downhill!!
Not a c7
Computer predicted mpg is worthless
Not a thousand examples either
Keep trying
>computer predicted
>coasting
They said it was flat and you can literally see the flat road. I'm sure frosty will tell you all about that when your pedo ass gets raided one of these days.
>getting this devastated by ancient technology
>not having enough torque and gearing to idle down the highway
You mean frosty the corvette cuck who uses some shitty obd2 plug in to measure his 0-60 time while spinning his tires in a patch of gravel?
ROFLMAO
WHAT THE FUCK IS A LB FT

If your not British you're Australian which is almost worse.
Sound
Power delivery
TT DOHC V6's taking up more space than a blown pushrod V8
>Only australia and the uk exist
The absolute autism
>DOHC takes more space than pushrods
Wrong
Except I have v8s AND gtrs
You only have v8s
Stay btfo faggot
Because even a fast V6 is a shit engine born of compromise, existing only to optimize packaging or deal with displacement limitations. I6 and V8 are both better designs than V6.
Arguing that forced induction makes V6 comparable to V8 is retarded, a forced induction V8 will drive circles around a V6
I6 is better on a track than V6
Even H6 is better than V6
>l6 is better than v6
Based on what? They are longer and heavier, worse in every aspect
Retard
The reason why manufacturers are switching from N/A V8s to twin turbo V6s is too move the power band farther up in to the rev range in order to fool EPA (and equivalent) emissions testing. If you like a driving profile with a small powerband and torque that doesn't peak until beyond halfway up the rev range, you'll like a twin turbo v6. If you actually drive cars, you'll appreciate the low end torque of a high displacement N/A V8 and never post this shitty thread again.
>Power at 2k rpm is so useful! If only I had a device to change gears!
The ecoboost gives better low end figures than an na v8
What's with dumb fucks and thinking turbos aren't god tier for low end delivery
But v6 is lighter than v-...
>the Ford gt has won le mans
>Gm never ever has
Lmao
And for some double trigger
>the ecoboost v6 destroyed the corvette last year at le mans
ROFLMAO
lol.
thanks for triggering them while I was gone.
this will cause a trigger
Ls mechanically simpler and cheaper
Better packaging
More fun
Revs more
Cheaper to mod
The v6tt is a good idea but it's not God's gift to the automotive world
>N/A V8s to twin turbo V6s is too move the power band farther up in to the rev range
You are a fucking idiot.
>blah blah blah
something somthing
>blah blah
OMG LOL!!!
this is how autistic you sound.
v6 is faggot-tier hairdresser engine. no amount of environmental regulation or mental gymnastics will change this fact.
called it. BWAHAHHAHAHAHAA. MY SIDES
btfo
Please stop triggering my autistic son I've already had managed to get him out of his computer before I don't want him to have his autistic episodes again
...
>can't even put effort into his damage control
Damn, you must be btfo
Its okay I'll stop hurting you now
>my stalker obsessing this hard over me
Like clockwork :^)
v6 engines are getting better, problem is so are v8 engines.
You'll never catch up
>you'll never catch up
Said the gtr to the corvette LMAO
>said the gt-r
...after being lapped kek
>after being lapped
Just how fast is the tow truck that the corvettes sitting on?
>after being lapped
Problem with that theory is the Corvette would have to complete more than 1 lap for this to be possible
ford wins again
>the tow truck is faster that the gt-r also
guess it had a v8 kek
gt-r driver doesn't make it to lap two. killed himself in shame after getting passed by a car that costs half as much.
Top fucking kek
If DOHC is so big then why is it used in almost every compact car.
...
Then you don't use a FI engine
Because compact cars use I4's that don't have multiple banks of cylinders, making any potential benefits of a pushrod engine moot
>weeb samefagged n ragequit after this post
kek gg
Sorry to keep you waiting but I had to drop a Chevrolet corvette c7 z06 (a poop)
>literally spamming f5 waiting for me to reply
Lmao so sad
Top kek, Prez/o/ got triggered by this
...
>Asperg/o/ literally ragequits after seeing this image
Lol
Epic meme
>mfw the thread i made went as planned
>Durrrrrr
...
Makes me wonder why Ford didn't just try to improve the 302 like GM did with the 350.
Granted, at the end of that process we got the LS1, which shares nothing with the 350 other than displacement and cylinder count.
Maybe some suit declared that the new engine MUST be DOHC.
this guy is seriously raging right now, lol.
>samefag
ITT; we learn it's not unusual for more than one person to share a popular opinion.
Good to see you triggered though princess.
btfo. watch him sperg
Stay BTFO
I'll never fail to be impressed by how long shitposts such as these endure. Veeky Forums could go back and forth with memes like this for eternity.
