Gtr :banderas: it’s a v6 twin turbo.

Gotta tundra 5.7 v8 as well.

Why not just get a v8 twin turbo? In the market for either a rs7 or a e63 amg myself. :myman:

I have two v8 dodges. They both run like champs. Got a i4 accord sport too, which isnt as fun as the dodges of course. But if u put it in sport mode it runs like a v6

Have two V8 vehicles, one is a GMC Sierra 6.0 and a Denali 5.3 and they are great. I tried driving a trash ass 6 cylinder from Nissan felt like that thing was going to die when the A/C was on.

Wish it had posi, but there's no drop in differentials that I can swap or buy without costing an arm and a leg​

Was looking at the 850 bmw and the lexus lc500

8 series didn't feel much better than my v6 accord tbh. Was very disappointed

Lc500 felt like a monster. Well be getting that when nvidia cross $200 I'm cashing out

Thread only further convinces me electric is the way. You get the most power without worrying about mpg and moving parts/engine failure. And it's a nice quiet ride and nobody hears you coming. You can move like a ninja. Just need a garage to charge and you good.

People love V8s because of the power, sound, and feeling of driving it, not quietness gas milegage. :skip:
And most electric cars are less reliable and more expensive to repair than gas powered cars.

I'm getting older and becoming more conservative in age. I like to drive in silence or listen to my Candace/Tatum/Stephen A clips :manny:

Just saying, with time those things will change. I don't need no loud ass V8 letting everyone know I'm coming or going. I'm a car guy too. But the farther I've gone down the car guy's internet, the more I realize it's just a dikk measuring contest.

Meanwhile the bigger the engine means you're at the gas station filling up multiple times a day, if you're actually doing some spirited driving which is the purpose of getting them. That and more expensive oil changes, bigger possible engine damage repairs. No thanks.

Electric is fast but it feels different. Not necessarily in a good way in my opinion

ngl, I sometimes move around in an old hybrid Camry and the combo of quiet and quick torque is :whew: blowing past Camaros and whatever else I want to with ease
