Have V6 engines finally matched V8s?

>>15708628
So is Ecoboost the new Vtech meme or is there something I'm missing here?

No

>>15708628
Yes and no. While great strides have been made for V6 engines to be on par and sometimes surpass the V8, it will never be better than them. Maybe equal eventually, but never better.
>>15708642
Yes and no. While Ecoboost is currently the new hotness for aut/o/ memes, it will never reach the pinnacle that Vtec has attained.

>cherry picking reliability
I only remember the V8s having reliability issues at lemans.

No. All V6 developments can be applied to V8s.

I still want my V10 Excursion cuckboosted, Ford.

V6's are literally superior. Technology has made them better. Deal with it.

V6 will never sound or feel like that of a handsome V8

Anything you can do do a v6 you can do to a v8 and you'll have a better engine. V6's are just gay and will never have the cultural footprint a v8 does.

The 918's V8 weighs 300 lbs and makes 600HP NA (which is what the RXC in your picture makes) so would it be faster if it had a V8 from the glorious VAG-Gods?

Maybe in just about everything except for one, sound.Your V6 turbo may whistle, but it doesn't have the sound like a V8 burble.

Wrong. Halving the number of cylinders won't give you a good engine

By what metric? They're falling behind in the cylinder count

that's because a turbo CAN't be used with top fuel.
it's can't take the 4000F exhaust temps

and a 4V setup wouldn't be beneficial as these Hemi heads are NOT limited by CFM or RPM

most likely

>>15708628
Considering v8s have kept advancing at the same rate, no.

Current v8 > Current v6 > 2000's v8 > 90's v8's > Current I4's > 90's v6's
