Why do you think it's shit? It weighs 35kg more than a 5.7 V8 LS1 and has over 500bhp/lbft torque?

You're claiming it's a shit design because it's not the same as a 4 pot turbo that most cars have these days in terms of bhp/litre? It's like saying that petrol engines are shit and everyone should get the diesel equivalent

i just find that engine shit, yeah tuning potential may be immense in the states but so has a z20net ( not saying you should put in one of them in, just an example of an other engine with good tuning potential )
as for a engine i would put in a s2000 off the top of my head i cant think of anything but like i have said my opinion my piss you off but i dont care

8.3l of antique. I believe the V10 la engine is a development that carried on from a engine design from 1964. The engineers would not have to try hard to extract the tech figures from 8.3l. A cool engine that sounds nice but is very dated compared to today's standards.

So we're not allowed to ask why it's someone's opinion now? Debating is idiotic
