Can somebody explain to me the advantages of a V8? A V6 delivers the same power with less weight and more efficiency. Why would you still use a V8 in a modern car?

V8s came first.
V6 are useless when you have an I6. Like why go through the trouble for 2 more cylinders over an inline 4? Two banks, two heads, two headgaskts, two set of everything. Lot of additional complication to improve an I4. Just always go to a V8, or an I6.

It doesn't look bad. Why are you being such contrarian niggers?
Are honda owners to stupid to know when they are being made fun of?
I saw these Asian guys with riced out civics and integras..
So I storm over to them and yell "You know what hondas are good for? Mowing lawns"
Then instead of getting mad they all just laugh and giggle about it.
One even said "I cant argue with that, honda mowers are built well".
..Spastics.
Bait/ you are the spastic one
>>16070788
as much as i hate ricers as a civic driver. your pretty autistic.
Kid you got bants'd hard. Step your game up. That's just embarrassing.
How does Murrika get so little HP out of such a big engine?
Chebby Corvette 6.2L V8 = 455HP
BMW M3 3.0L l6 = 425HP
I mean, that's almost half the HP per L that BMW makes.

What makes the Corvette so cheap compared with other big-engined sports cars?
Low quality materials, less than average build quality, lack of luxuries and technology.
>>16076744
>>16076744
only the last one is correct desu
id make a case for the cooling system in earlier models being mediocre for the amount of power the engine is expected to put out, but thats about it
>>16076741
They sell.
They can be mass produced to much lower cost than any other cars of its class. Also they use a lot of plastic and cheaper materials where carbon fiber or alloys would be.
Overall though, look up how many corvettes sell vs. its class. Granted a lot of that is because of the price, but it's kind of a never-ending cycle. It also explains why vettes were always one or two steps behind the competition. They used high budget super car companies as buffers to see what worked or not then gave it to the corvettes. GM would never risk Ferrari/Konnigobongo numbers of R&D.

You need better handling in the corners, go with Honda Civic.

Forgot the link.
Fistly, that is not just a WRX, but an STi.
I Sold a near-stock '06 STi with 65k miles 2 years ago for 20k. The guy is absolutely full of shit ( "don't ask for qtr. mile time - I don't abuse my vehicle," then he goes on to talk about his mods ).
I'd pay no more than 16k for that. The guy seems like a class-A dickwad.
muh mods
no way a boy racer car hasn't been driven hard let alone one with mods
