Golf Mk.4 V5. narrow angle V5 engine, 2.3-litre. good car, i love it.

What the hell is a V5?

My first car was a 1978 Firechicken. I sold that to my cuz who wrecked it, Bitch... and then got a 1990 Ford Taurus SHO. I know its a ford but it had the Yamaha 220 hp V6. That was a fast car...

The Colorado's have 5 cyl engines.

[poormillionaire2]

Don't they usually put odd number cylinders in a line? Never heard of a V-5. awww, one cylinder without a partner.

im pretty sure theres no V5. It would be off balance.

Inline 5 cyl, yep.

mine was a 2000 v8 ls1 t/a... i was lucky. had to get rid of it because i could not afford it. Then i got the 97 rs cavalier.. realised it was slow sold it then got a 88 supra turbo 5 speed fast as hell. Leta firend drive it came back toltoled out. Then i got my 92 camaro rs. that is where we stand.

1988 Mercury Tracer.. Car sounded like an R/C car in reverse.. it was too funny to drive.. I tried top speed and it was 79 downhill with the wind behind me.. I couldn't get it to go 80 for the life of me.. not enough hp.. but it got like 34 mpg.

90 Buick estate, V8 5.0L. Although it was slow i liked it. Now i have a 4.

I had no idea they had 5 cylinder engines. Whatever I will stick with my LS-1 V8. When I get done with nursing school I was to get v-12 or some crazy shit like that. Or just a Ferrari...like a F355 syder

is the wrong answer. there is such thing. my car has one, and that's some fairly solid proof. honda also ran V5s in their race bikes. so yes, they do exists.



care to explain what that is? looks to be a V5 with my eyesight, which was 20/20 last time it was checked.

wait, there's more:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V5_engine - mine's the 2.3-litre variant.

Yep, I knew there was a 5 cylinder, thats why I put it is an option. I didn't figure anyone's parents were stupid enough to give a 10 or 12 cylinder as a first car and if those were options everyone would try to be "funny" and pick those.

V8, the 91 RS I'm building up now was my first car. I've had it for 9yrs now.

My first car was an '87 TA w/ the 305 V8, bought for $3000..I loved that car, but it was wrecked last august when some lady pulled out and hit me..then I drove around a ford focus for six months until I saved up enough to buy my '95 Trans Am with the 5.7L
