What advantage do smaller engines provide aside from fuel Economy

top speed mainly. less reciprocating mass = higher rpms = more top end

>>16538336
Somebody basically wasted a mustang, right?

Large engines getting bad fuel economy is a meme. A 7l engine at 1200rpm is going to be using less fuel than a 1.8l at 4500rpm.

Weight savings, balance

>>16538336
>lighter
>better fuel economy
>smaller = fit in smaller cars = lighter overall vehicle, better aero and handling, even more fuel economy
>cheaper to manufacture = cheaper to buy, cheaper to maintain
the real question is what advantage do bigger engines provide, other than muh hps so you can jack off over quarter-mile times, and signaling to females that you have a testosterone deficiency?

This is true.
My 2.4L gets between 14-19mpg depending how hard I'm driving.

>>16538336
Packaging and weight. If your goal is a specific hp range you want to use a safe minimum of engine size to shave weight.

While fuckhuge for the sake of fuckhuge is a thing, there can be merits to a larger engine and generally heavy-duty platform. At a certain performance eleven you want some weight and/or down force to keep the car fairly tame. OP is still a fag tho.

Not at all, that is a 11 liter all aluminum dual cam v8 making like 500hp and almost 1000lbs/ft of torque if I remember right

>>16540825
Wouldn't something like that be better in a Torino than a Mustang?

>>16540856
At that point it's a tube frame dressed as a car.

>>16540863
Like the big red camaro but 200% more ridiculous? I like it.

>>16540825
out of a m4a3e2 sherman if i remember correctly.

I think you have it kind of backwards. The M4A3 came with the Ford GAA engine, which was 18L (1100ci) DOHC all aluminum V8.

But yeah about 525 horsepower and 1,000 ft-lb of torque.

I can see out of my windshield.
My weight balance isn't fucked to shit
I'm not heavy
Higher rpm is more easily achievable

>>16538346
>there are no words

>>16538346
Until you hit air resistance and need more torque.

>>16538346
Damn, I guess if I swapped my 6.2 for one of those model airplane engines that turn 30k rpm, I'd be able to break 200.

>>16541385
You are right I was going from memory on the displacement

>>16541437
Hp is what conquers air resistance.
