American V8s are terrible and all muscle cars are shit

muscle cars from all brands are shit and so are nearly all the v8s

Modular is cool tho

One of their best engines ever but jesus dude... Overengineered

>>14024336

Oh wait, so we're talking about trannies now, thought this was a thread about engines

>>14024388
The LS engines are objectively better, then. Simpler, cheaper, more powerful, doesn't need forced induction, more efficient, no lag, linear power, lighter.

Strictly engine wise.

Why is more displacement a bad thing if it's still in a small package? Gas is cheap.

observing fuel efficiency really isnt as simple as 2 factors

there is literally no prototype racer powered by a GM engine

the only ones are daytona proto because GM cant race with the big boys

and who is talking about turbo v6s?

>>14024769
sorry your favourite engine is shit

>>14024735
Sorry you have to have shitty gas prices. I genreally assume most posters are american because they're a large percentage of /o/s user base.
>>14024739
For their displacement, and in general really, absolutely.
>>14024759
That's called overdrive gears, although having low end torque from large displacement helps those overdrive gears work.

Believe that may be an ls6.

Note the 243 casting number on the cylinder head.

>>14023789
very true, i drive a jap turbo hatchback with less than 200 WHP, my friend has a 430WHP 2015 camaro, i am 0% jealous, it drives like shit and its only fun in straight lines.

>>14026621

Yeah he should have went for the Z/28. I rode in one at the San Diego region SCCA wicked fast for how big they are it's hard to believe.

>>14024316
Fact

Most if not all muscle cars and engines are not fully using their power efficiently the moment they were made.

>>14026628
junior enlisted military if you would believe it.

the car they have is outside their price range let alone a Z28. im not saying muscle cars cant be good or that i wouldn't have one (the GT350R gives me nocturnal emissions) but the people who think anything that isnt muscle is shit really are missing out.

>>14026649

yeah i've been pretty open and into all sorts of cars since i was a teenager. it's more fun to drive all sorts of different cars and trucks.
