>inb4 "niggity nigger"

most American V8s are boring to drive tbqh

they sound like shit and feel lazy

your V8 is simply quite useless in the enviroment you are in most of the time, which is slow city traffic, enjoy your burned clutch and worst than bad fuel economy

>>16082705
>enjoy your burned clutch
U wot? When you have almost 600lbft of torque you can start rolling in 2nd with no gas easily if you wanted. Way less wear on the clutch. Gas mileage is shit though true.

>>16082724
torque is a result of applying gas, it doesnt appear out of thin air magically

>>16082469
its easier to live with 4 cylinders because its a lot cheaper.

doesn't matter how much money you have, its still equally expensive to drive to work every day in pigfat

>>16082724
>>16082744
also, stating in any gear higher than 1st will always result in more wear on the clutch,unless we're talking conditions with litle grip like snow or ice

>>16082744
>torque doesn't appear out of thin air magically
With a V8 it does
>tfw I can idle uphill with my automatic

>>16082744
You do know there is a gas flow to the engine with no press of the throttle right? Right?

Thus even at an idle the engine is making torque.

you do realise the higher the gear the more torque you need therefor you're needing more gas and you're slpiing your clutch wearing it down, fucking americans that never have driven stick

Agree. Growing up, my mom was brainwashed that RWDs were fundamentally more dangerous and V8s encouraged unsafe driving and automatics were easier for beginning drivers. Now I buy my own cars and I have two RWD V8 5 speeds and I even finally got my wife driving a longitudinal V8. Full on V8 family. They're just so much simpler and less stressed than anything else.

>>16082469
Flat power bands are boring as shit.

give me a high revving engine with a turbo the spools at about 4000 rpm any day.

Because the number of cylinders doesn't matter at all. My father had a BMW 535 with a V8, it was very boring to drive, and I got bad conscious every time I drove it because it was so wasteful.
Thank god for cheap, light, nimble and fuel efficient shitboxes.

I've always wanted a mustang GT or some cheap, reliable v8 for a fun car. I daily a Mazdaspeed 3 and a turbo 4 sounds amazing, but theres nothing like the grunt & grumble of a crossplane V8.

>>16084249
You mean like what BMW make?
Up until like 10 years ago BMW didn't turbocharge anything because they didn't want to make engines with lag. Now they say turbo technology has advanced enough to eliminate lag which is why they use them. The lag is still perceptible but there's not much really.

Actually liking laggy turbos though? It's like you just started driving and haven't experienced decent power except from a turbo. When I first drove a car that hit boost at 3500 I thought it was mad fun too

Firstly I'm not American
Secondly I DD a high torque manual, I don't need to to apply any gas to shift into 1st, my car literally cannot stall unless it is a really steep hill.
THIRD, I never said anything about any gears after first. all I was doing was pointing out a flaw in your logic. But that's a nice strawman you made.

yes it sounds weird but I absolutely love laggy turbos. And no I have two cars, one that is a 4L I6 N/a (ford barra) and a 2litre I6 Turbo (rb20det). The 2 litre is way more fun waiting for the turbo to spool and then taking off. For example in this video : https://youtu.be/0vh8UycCxPo

>>16083010
There never has been any BMW x35i with a V8. 3.5l is a bit small for a v8. BMWs smallest Vs are x40i at the smallest.

>>16082469
3.5 dodge chargers with no stability control are mad drift machines. Couldnt afford feeding a v8 when all i use my car for is drifting and the fact that these engines shuts off 4 cylinders for "fuel economy" is a huge turn off

It makes the V8 that much better to drive.
