Ford be shamed, our latest 4 litre straight 6 puts out 185kw, the TVR Sagaris also is a 4 litre DOHC straight 6, however it puts out 298kw or 400hp. Not bad for a factory 4 litre. Although there are a lot worse engines about i.e. Dodge Viper V10, that is 8.3 litres and puts out a, wait for it, mind blowing 400hp. Although the Dodge has 630nm of torque to the TVR's 420nm, I've had a brilliant idea, why dont Dodge put two TVR engines together next time to make an 8 litre engine.
So here's my question, why don't australia/america make performance engines that are anywhere near as good as Japan and Europe? i'd really like to know? The only exception I can think of is the Holden 5 litre with the black head as found on the torana, which for its day was very powerful, am I wrong, can anyone think of another one? |
