Why doesn't your car have a 510bhp naturally aspirated 5.0

>>16540568
Because the engineers didn't put one in it you autist.

Because I'd rather have a 16 liter that revs to 8000 and makes 4 figure power. Even a race engine will be more reliable than a high strung VW.

>>16540575
You mean you didn't tick it as an option on the list of optional extras?

>>16540568
Because I have a 530+ HP naturally aspirated 4.9L Chevy small block pushrod V8 that revs to 8500 instead.

It's a BMW though...

Pretty much the same desu

>>16540593

Same shit.

>>16540593

My bad. Thought it was an Audi. I'll fix it for me.

>Even a race engine will be more reliable than a high strung BMW.

>>16540568
Because it has a 511bhp naturally aspirated 5.1 V11 that revs to 8301rpm.

Interesting, so this engine has 2 less cylinders than a V10? What kind of benefits does that bring?

Let me guess, it's none?

Literally sounds like it's being fuelled by hammers, thats either the highest-strung engine in existence or they forgot to put oil in it.

>>16540607

Having a balanced engine, less combustion chamber surface area, shorter block.

>>16540607

>getting pissy your "god-tier v10" is being outperformed by an American pushrod V8 that's 50 years old

>>16540610
high strung. The DZ302 was built specifically for homologation for Trans Am racing.

>>16540614
>balanced engine
no one cares, engine balance can easily be sorted through not having a retarded firing order

less combustion chamber surface area
no it doesn't

shorter block
again, no one cares, this isn't 1999 and you aren't Audi fitting engines ahead of the front axle, cars have space for their engines

Is that factory stock with a 3 year guarantee?

>>16541558
Price/mileage/condition?

Because the MSRP was a fraction of that M5.

Because it has a 420 bhp naturally aspirated 4.0 V8 that revs to 8400rpm.

But it's based off the V10 so we can still be friends right?

>>16540591
That sounds insane.

I wonder what the durability is tho haha probably one race and it's rebuild time.

>>16541671
>530hp
>at all an issue for a 5.0
No, m8.

VW/Audi is FWD
BMW is RWD
do you guys even have a drivers license?

>>16541694
You missed the fact it's Chevy.

because there's no way in hell I could stuff that into my engine bay

>>16540568
Because I am poor
>>16540583
that engine itself costs twice as much as an M5

>>16540583
Why is the rest of the world so shit at building engines compared to America?

because it has a turbocharged inline 4 cylinder engine that makes around 600hp at 7000rpm

hmm...

Is your car a 6 speed manual or does it have the rice-box?

>>16541808

In theory yes but in the real world no, 5mpg and dat unreliability will kill you.

>>16542874
mpg is not that bad, I see a grey E60 M5 being daily'd in my area

>>16542868
6mt of course!

>>16541642
>implying any of the V10 BMW M5's still have a warranty

This was an engine from the 1960's. Warranties were usually 90 days back then.

I wouldn't do it. Those engines don't last forever.

If you're up for an engine rebuild, I guess go ahead though.

You made a typing mistake buddy.

>>16544935
mercedes drivetrains are OK too.

>>16544705
150k mile lifespan isn't "tough as fuck"
Wrecking the valvetrain because the wrong oil spec was used isn't "tough as fuck"
Motor locking up due to lack of oil because of rotary-levels of oil consumption isn't "tough as fuck"
Burning out the clutchES faster than Billy in his riced Honda doing wicked skidz by driving normally isn't "tough as fuck"

>>16544975
I have to agree with this ANON even though I own two german cars.
Our cars is not the definition of ''tough as fuck'' and bulletproof. They require capricious maintenance and care.

Meanwhile you can run a fucking toyota Tercel/Corolla or honda civic on a 20,000KM mineral oil change and it will runs like it's brand new and last till 600,000KM.
That is bulletproof.

>>16544975
>>16545030
The high performance (M) models indeed require higher maintenance than non-M cars. Exotic supercars require high maintenance, that's no secret.
But the non-M cars can reach 300-600k miles only with oil, filter and bushing replacements. That is called bulletproof.

>>16545030
I ran my '96 Honda Accord (it had a cracked head) with 2 cycle oil/15w40 diesel oil mix for oil, 50/50 isopropyl alcohol/water for coolant, and a 70/30 mix of tranny fluid/gear oil in the automatic trans (custom stop slip for when you already know the tranny's already FUBAR). It lasted another 10k miles this way until I bought something else and scrapped it. Had 430k on the odo when it went to car heaven.

>>16545078
Tough as fuck was my first car. An 86 S-10 with a hole in the block. I got tired of watching the oil come back out so I stopped adding it. I ran it dry for 6 months.

>>16545078
Look, I own a pre Chrysler C-Series MB.
I know what you mean, I only make oil change on that thing, nothing breaks and it runs pretty well.
BUT, I can't confirm from my own eyes that its THAT BULLETPROOF. While I have seen half millions KMs toyota with no oil on the dipstick still running.

>>16545108
Damn, impressive!
I had a 1995 corolla that was eating oil like a mad ape at 400K KMs. I was putting every oil.I could.find even used oil.in it just to last. And guess what, it did.

>>16545208
I've had a 2003 E46 325 that I was driving around with low oil pressure for many, many miles, the miles including hooning, drifting and a 1440 mile trip across Europe. German cars can take abuse quite well, also look at all the Mercedes taxis with a million (and more) kilometers.

One of my absolute dream cars.Thinking on pulling the trigger on pic related but the mileage is 153k. They're asking $14k. Thoughts?

>>16541715
Audi is torsen not haldex reeeeeee

Because I have $30k more in the bank than op. And I don't like heavy cars with automatics.

>>16540568
Because I have a stage 1 455 in my buick skylark thats n/a and makes almost 700 hp and almost 800 ft lbs of torque

I've owned very high mileage E36's, E46's, currently own a 310k mile E60.

>>16540568

>>16548656

Uhhh no it doesn't work like that. People do 1000+ mile trips with 3000hp drag cars. That engine will last a long time if you drive it normally. It's got enough torque at idle to rip a twingo in half so you wouldn't need to rev it high in the city or on the highway.

Because they don't sell starlets with V10s, silly anon

>>16550026
They idle at 4000rpm what's your point bruhz
And no they don't do any kind of mileage while making power... they are detuned to shit and have a fucking trailer full of spare parts and a mechanic crew following them between tracks

They're not F1 engines dumbass, nor are they top fuel dragster engines. That Sonny engine is just a giant V8, It's nothing specially really. The people at drag week are running big blocks with big turbo's, again nothing special.
