Riiiiiggghht. Have you looked at Kia's high end vehicles lately? They cost more than a Mustang. Are Mustang's for the poors now? The well documented rapid depreciation of BMW's relative to literally every other vehicle is not an opinion, it is a measurable fact. That $65k car will be worth...

Am I the only one who feels compelled to give them a blast of v8 exhaust?

Good to know, thanks.

And if she read that you called her "latino", we'd never see you again :cwl:

The Soto's are great. Driven on them in active snow storms.

19k ft-lbs at those specs. Some torque...

:puke:

That would require the revs to hit 150k! Not possible for a piston engine, but it could be attainable in a micro turbine engine.

Horse vs. Torquepower

9 years, but yeah.

I mean, they called it the "Cumstang"

They tested the Coyote with some seriously brutal methods. One of them was to run until the headers started to glow, shut the motor off, run ice water through the cooling jackets, then start it up to do it again...and again...and again...

You can't even see it do the run, and it sounds like something from outer fucking space...

About as relevant to a conversation about road cars as F1 motors and moon rockets.

To be fair an F1 engine doesn't last a whole season, let alone the length of a standard powertrain warranty. There are more analogous motors to the GT500 in the pro drag circuit. They can't even be dyno'd because: 1. Every dyno in the world would break 2. The engine would burn out before...

Too bad they use them for a glorified parade.

A buddy had an air-cooled Beetle that was lifted on VW microbus portal axles. The motor was straight piped, and actually sounded amazing. It was the fastest thing I've ever driven off road.

The WRX 4-cylinder is a boxer, not an inline like the Ford motors. They will always sound different because of the different configuration. The point I was trying to make is that an inline-4 can only get so big. This is due to balancing and smoothness issues. Smaller displacement motors...

What's the highest displacement 4-cylinder you can think of off the top if your head? Then, think of the highest displacement v6 and v8. I think the answer will become clear to you.
