Funny that one of the most economical cars in the world, is a 5.5L V8 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. wink.gif


i hope you only mean v8's?

Hybrids are clearly the leaders in economy driving.

Pretty sure bringing electric hybrids into the picture is just plain cheating tongue.gif

I agree with sandman (my gosh this has got to be what, three times in a month!) - if you want fuel economy, don't be buying ANY form of performance car, V8 or turbo 4 banger rolleyes.gif

turbo for me - way easier to extract power out of a turbo engine than an N/A

Well apparently this thing is more economic, than a Yaris.

I agree with Rookie ROX. Buying any performance car or modifying any car and expecting great fuel ecomony, is just stupid.

Really depends on what car there in power to weight?

I seen plently of 300kw claimed Ls2 and 297kw ls1 get taken down by 200kw Evo's

but yeah i know poll isnt asking about those 2 engines

But a WRC engine would be incredible

Im not sure many people are thinking a whole lot about their answers. I too immediatly thought boost, simply because I like light Jap cars that accelerate well and handle well. However after watching the latest episode of 'Pinks' (an American Tv show where people race best 3 out of 5 races for the pink slip of the other guys car) I have a newly found fondness for the V8.

I mean lets face it, ALL Jap cars are good only after you modify it. I mean a GTR isn't all that great until you start adding after market stuff to it. Hence the first thing people ask me once they see my s15 is "what have you done to it" because everyone knows a stock S15 isnt that fast or great. Now most v8s on the road (or atleast the ones I see) havnt had anywhere near the amount of money spent on it compared to my S15, While I can destroy any stock Xr8, I'm sure if it had 7 grands worth of upgrades it would beat me.

Now comparing a Evo 8 to a R8 to me hands down an R8. Ok ok so it wont handle as well as an Evo. But have any of you ever riden inside a new R8 or atleast sat in one. WHOLLY shit it is nice, the quality of the finish, the luxury, the comfort, THE ROOM. It is an extreemly nice and pleasent car to be in. Now it still has 400 horse power so it aint slow either. and when you hear that 6.0L engine start to roar it is very exillerating. It makes for a great GT car. The build quality and finish to the workmanship can only be compared to cars like BMW and Mercedes Benz.

If any of you have driven or been inside an Evo8 you will know it is a fun car to drive, but it is far from a pleasent or comfortable car to be in. The interior is very cheap, plasticy and most of everything is manually controlled not to mention the ride is very stiff and there isn't much room. It is very much a race car not a GT car. It is a car that after a while it will do your head in (like most Ferraris). Therefor you wont be able to drive this car as far as the R8 without getting tired, nor will it be as relaxing (if you so desired) as an R8

If you are only and I mean only looking at what is better performance wise, then probably the Evo is better, But as a whole package to be used every day and at the track you cant go past an R8. Espically if it has an exhaust and a tuned suspension set up.

If I had a choise between my 185kw at the wheel S15 and a 300kw at the engine R8 clubsport, I know exactly what Id be taking home.

And anyone who calls a 2006 HSV Clubsport R8 a Bogan Mobile seriously need their head read.

Again On topic I'll take a 300kw 3.5L v8 Ferrari 360 over a turbo Jap anyday. Or a 4.5L v8 Koenigsegg. Now what jap car is better than those two do u think.

Id go the 300kw non turbo. If it was a v8 it would have a assload more torque than a 200rwkw turbo. Plus the 8 would strip your rims clean of their tyres with a squirt of the throttle.

If i wanted shopping trolley economy, id buy a 4 banger.

If i want that V8 grunt and V8 performance, ill buy a V8..... fuel cost is irrelevant when it comes to making power!

Thats why most owners of old school V8s have 'run around' cars for economy and general shitiness during the week, and break the big old 8 out on the weekends for some fun!

Both types of cars have thier pro's and con's...... the crap in this thread stems from the people who are sprouting this "X engines are easier to make power from", etc, etc

Although i prefer 'rice buckets' this doesnt mean that i think V8 muscle cars are shit....i love the deep rumble of a V8 drool.gif The simplicity of modifying a V8 is great too, but the inner-workings of a turbocharged ricer is what draws my attention thumbsup.gif .....just my 2 cents.

Post #169

this is the funniest shit i have ever seen.

wen i had the stock turbo and management in my laser, it owed me 9grand... and i owned new r8's or gts's or fpv's rolling start. with 166FWhp.

than i spent 2200 on it, and pulled 230fwhp..... its all power to weight.

id take 70xins sprinter over a new clubie. faster, handle, and is soo much fun to drive. and its only got 170rwkw.

how much do you truely think an LJ Torana weights ??????? trust me my young narrow minded friend if go anywhere near a 300Kw V8 LJ its more than just game over for your Evo ....... especially if you try a standing start but from my experience ricers all seem to want a rolling start for some strange reason ! mmmmm

there are seriously some retarded replies here...

i dont think people comprehend how much power 100rwkw actually is.

a 300kw na 4.0l inline six from a BA falcon would smash a xr6 turbo with 200rwkw.
