best engine

[chevydrummer76]

What would you say is the best engine ever that was in a production car/ truck as far as reliablity and performance?

[freakonaleash1187]

i personally like ferraris 3.6L v-8. it produces 425hp from a n/a 3.6L (challenge stradale). and then the sound of that engine, it is so beautiful.

First my V8 is the bored out 396 the put in the Yenkos', the 427. Or for modern the LS1

But in my opinion the best is the Turbo 3800 Buick engine from 86-87. Sounds beautiful and runs like a raped ape.

i think the Nissan Skyline GTR engine the RB26DETT which makes 280bhp
(it makes more hp but the japanese government limits posting all cars horsepower to 280hp)
(which is measured to be around 340whp..look it up seriously)
it can handle up to 500hp with its internals and relibility intact.. and remember its a small 2.6 liter inline 6 guys..
also remember that in japan they limit posting more than 280hp for any car.. and for the supra we know its 320HP twin turbo because thats what it was in the US.. and for the skyline.. since its faster than the supra in a 1/4 im pretty sure its 340whp
its the supras 13.93
vs the skylines 12.90
and im not really sure.. but everyoen tells me that the all wheel drive system of the skyline transfers most of the power to the rear wheels when its actually in motion.. so then its like a rwd car sometimes rite?

how does 280bhp transfer to 340 wheel hp? u never get more whp then bhp out of a car

hey do u know that in japan they limit posting the cars horsepower to 280bhp? now that you know that.. also know that the supra makes 320bhp but in japan they can only say 280hp.. now the skyline has a faster 1/4 mile so don't you think it would have more than 280hp which the japanese government limits them saying? since the skyline is faster than the supra.. dont you think its more than 320hp? so there u go.. i think if the skyline came out in another country it would be more than 340bhp because its not in japan anymore

i think ur the only guy in this whole website that doesn't know the japanese limit posting more than 280bhp

[freakonaleash1187]

i didnt know that. but anyways, okay, the skyline is faster than the supra. that in all means doesnt mean that the skyline has more hp than the supra. there is many, many other factors into how fast a car goes. how the gears are geared, how light the car is, how wide the power band is, where do you get that maximum torque and horsepower at. the supra doesnt take off till bout 2nd or 3rd gear i have heard. so its top end is faster. im not disagreeing with the skyline having more hp than the supra, im just disagreeing with your reasoning on how you go to that result.

Ya I think the buick 3.8 definetly deserve mention as well as the toyota straight 6 (2.8,3.0).

[ghetto7o2azn]

dude i fukin knew about it already but wut im saying is that wheel hp is always less than bhp... so how do u get 320whp with a car with only 280bhp? if anything it has 320bhp and 280whp

a 1/4 time doesnt have everything to do with hp... ever seen one of those mini bikes that u look like a retard on cause there so frikin small?? you can soup those up to go 0 - 60 in 4 seconds... with something like 12hp...

2 of them are the same pages... and the lowest 1/4 mile i have seen for the skyline is 13.5.... the supras was 13.1... were u look at that r-1 or something or did u just make those numbers up?? cause the r-1 will cost u a couple $10,000's more...

i duno how they drove it but the skylines i know about get about 12.8 or 12.9 anyways ur a friggin idiot.. it even tells u the REAL horsepower of the skyline on the last skyline link u have.. and on one of the supra pages it says 13.5 for the 1/4 mile.. HOW IS THAT? MAYBE ITS THE DRIVER

and whats with you trying to prove me wrong? does it make u feel like a big man or what lay off already i have my own info.. i never knew anyone so friggin persistent on proving someone wrong ONLINE dam what a loser.. and if u have no life then reply to this

man nvm.. the skyline oen must be #2 i think the engine in the mclaren F1 is one of the best

[ghetto7o2azn]

1. maybe if u went into the website u could read the times
2. same websites, same drivers, skylines all have slower times
3. it only took me 2 minutes to find that information, if u were to just open up ur eyes a little bit you would see the truth... yes the skyline is fast, but it is also a 4 seater car, and its engine weighs a lot, plus the awd system weighs a lot but people think the skyline is all mighty superior... well its not
4. the last website says 280hp... i dont kno where in the hell ur gettin ur "the skyline must have 340whp"

i only replied cause i hate dicks like u who think that they kno everything about cars when they are very limited to their knowledge... why dont u go to another forum where there are a bunch of newbs and tell them pos info so u can make urself feel smart

[broddie50]

Yeah the 3.8 turbo is always slept on as well as the cars they put them in. Wickedly fast, reliable if you keep up on maintnence, and when modded... Hold the f*** on....

You both need to shut up. You're arguing about the performance of a car!! And a car neither of you probably will EVER own. Grow up, it's people like you two who act like little kids that make these harmless threads get closed.
