It should be no shock to anyone here that a turbo 4 could run with or outrun a V6. Performance oriented turbo 4 engines these days are making 280 - 320 HP and that same amount in torque and also makes that torque at low rpms. Compare that to a V6 which makes plenty of HP 323HP, but just 278 TQ and you can easily see how the turbo 4 could be quicker. Throw a tune on the turbo 4 and suddenly your looking at TQ numbers closer to 400. Yes right now the rumor mill seems to think the Mustang base car will be the V6, with the T4 being an optional engine which likely will have more torque, and better highway gas mileage. I'd guess that GM is doing the same. |
Would rather see a turbo 8 option than a turbo 4 option.

The whole point is to create an efficient and powerful engine. Not too win HP wars. Of course anyone that cares about power will want a turbo V6 or turbo V8 over a turbo 4.....but if that person's budget doesn't allow for that then they will be glad to see an option for them that isn't completely boring to drive either. Why would we compare a T8 or a T6 to a T4? Sorry I just don't understand your comments I guess. |
well I have a twin turbo 8, and I love it...yoot yoot :)

I thought they have a 4cyl Camaro. Isn't called an L99? :sm0:
|
I would say several reasons ( though these are not for me :happy0180: )
1 - cheaper than a V8 2 - better fuel economy 3 - not everybody modifies their car for racing, some people like low/mild power 4 - why drive a Prius when you could drive something with similar fuel economy and the looks of a Camaro? Does not mean I think like that. :headbang: But some people do. And if there is a market for it, why not make a car for it? |
so they can VTEC it yo. so vtec can kick in, because people who talk about vtec are COMPELTELY AWARE that almost every car since 2000 that has fuel injection effectively has "vtec"

I want a 4 cylinder inline transverse mounted engine powering the front wheels in the Gen 6 Camaro as the only engine choice, just to piss some of you guys off :laugh:
