True. I'm still gunna stick with home-grown until Japs make an engine that sounds even close to being as cool sounding as a clevo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The most powerful engine is undoubtedly the Russian Designed "Energia" rocket engine. 250 000 000 horsepower. Whack it in a Moke and you'd be moving. Anything heavier than a Moke and youd probably get blown by a Rexxy.

RB26DETTs are good engines, but not king.. Holden V8s, LS1s etc are good engines, buy not king... each to their own, every engine can be turned into a high powered one, even if they only come out of the factory with **** all.. its just a matter of how deep your pockets are.. 1300 horsepower is alot, but 1300+ at the wheels is better! no matter what engine... it all depends on the engine that YOU decide to use, and how much money you want to spend...

True but theres no devolpment (well bar HKS drag supra and the red and purple soarer) that actaully have items and upgrades to the public its all custom and costly. but still nothing beats the noise of a turbo 6 at high revs sorry v8 boys but theres too much rice in my blood ..... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah as they say each to their own... max respect to anyone who screws 1300 hp at the treads out of anything!

how does a turbo 6 sound better? they have a winy little noise and there is no beef in the tone at all, they sound weak compared to a lumpy v8, but i guess i just cant stand the sound of rice.

Also there is really no way of making a 6 sound good, no matter what is done to it at the end of the day it still sounds like a 6

dude just because you think an 8 sounds better does not mean I will think it. All the convincing in the world will not change my mind.

it all depends what you grow up on. No one who I grew up with was into cars so I very little influence into what cars I liked. I took a liking into VLs, then turbo VLs. then I found out more about the series of motor so skylines came into which introduced me into the japanese cars and it went on from there. I love turbos, the sounds - everything, atmo cars don't seem to cut it for me. just because it does it for me doesn't mean it will do it for you. We are all different cause it would suck if we all drove the same car.

...I'm a 6 man and always have been I like the sound of nice V8 as much as the next guy but a sweet high revving 6 does it for me! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i'm not alone ...... i'm not alone ....

yay!!!

What about a high reving 8

hmmm I'm staying out of this one for fear of abuse ..... I'm only saying prefer a turbo high reving 6 .......

Why am i really bothering though, people have their own opinions and i am in a VL turbo forum so there is no use trying to convince everyone

heheh well what about a high revving TURBO V8? :twisted:

thats just insane oldgold ...... anyone whos has the guts to build one .... let alone drive one has my respect.

How about a ball tearing Twin Turbo V10? I want one of those Vipers real bad.
