What's the point of a v8 if a v6 delivers more power with less weight?

what's the point of a v8 if a v6 delivers more power with less weight?

>mfw there's someone intentionally avoiding this thread right now

.

V8s always make more power than V6 assuming all is equal.
/thread

wrong.

I'm all in favour of the v6 but he's right.

>wrong=right
wow

I prefer inline 6s, but v6 can and will always slay a v8's ass.

If you have 500cc cylinders, a v6 will only have 3 liters of potential per cycle, a v8 will have 4. There is no replacement for displacement.

fuck off alphonse

in a simulation where a v6 was making x power per cylinder and it was turned into a v8 making the same amount of power per cylinder the v8 would be more powerful, it's not hard to understand

Not sure if OP is actually retarded or just pretending.

it's alphonse he's just a butthurt ricer who makes these threads every day

ricer? stupid nigger doesn't even own a car, let alone has a driver's license.

That's not all things equal.

Make a 4.7 liter v8 with the same valve train specs, and equivalent turbo specs for the larger engine for the boost to perform the same, and the v8 will blow the v6 out of the water. I imagine even with exact same turbo not matched to the new engine, the v8 would make more power, even though it would stretched thin.

This, he claims to ride the city bus.

Except that's false you moron.

>hypothetical scenario
yea and pigs fly in my hypothetical scenario. try again

That doesn't mean anything.
The fact of the matter is a v8 gets 8 power stroked per cycle.
A v6 only gets 6.
A scaled spec v8 engine makes more power than its v6 counter-part.

a turbocharged v6 is superior to a v8.


fact.

And a turbocharged v8 is superior to a turbocharged v6. End of discussion.

looool no

Except it wasn't a claim. it was fact

I don't get it

If a supercharged v8 is better in every single way, as is claimed many times in this thread, why don't the thousands of professional engineers know that?

pls explain

because v6s are the future and v8 fags can't accept that

More like gay nigger being dragged behind a truck
