Good riddance.
lawwwlllllll
Good riddance.
Good riddance.
I once had a truck that had a 454 V8 in it, and lemme tell you. That damn thing just had endless amounts of torque. That's what was so epic about it. Back in 1970, when the 454 was in the Corvette, it was making at least 390hp and 500 ft/lb of torque*. Most modern cars still have problems making that much power, even with modern electronics and such. You may not ever understand the appeal of a big-block engine, but if you're a car fan, you must drive a big-block powered car at least once in your life.Your face hurts from the sheer acceleration, not the size of the engine. Anything over 500bhp will melt your face under full throttle. I don't understand the appeal of a big block engine, because if it's numbers and face melting experience you are after, there are plenty of engines that can do that without the need of a say.. 8 litres of misfire and noise??
Hm... a quick example would be... V10 viper engine v.s V10 M5 engine. Both make similar amount of power, both will melt your face under hard acceleration. But what makes the big block variant more desirable? This is the part where I can't understand.
The appeal of a big block isn't just the sheer brute force they have, but also the noise they produce. The low end rumble of a big block is just about the nicest sound in the world.

That's more than enough to make Christine throw a rod and shit her muffler in fear.
Good riddance.

My car has a1.33.9 liter and does 0-60 in about 7 seconds
Hahaha...was looking for that, and the first European in the thread deliveres. :lol:

well when you look at the Viper or Corvette or anyother large engined sports car you'll also notice they get good MPG's too, sure the ZR-1 matches my highway MPG with just about 500hp more than I have.
Something with a less powerful engine like the F430 gets something like 17mpg on the highway.
hell I wouldn't mind seeing huge diesel's in some supercars
