Of course, the number of cylinders is perhaps one of the most arbitrary ways to classify performance. Displacement and valve count is much more useful, but long gone are the days where garage mechanics had intelligent conversations about engineering. Now, we discuss vinyl stripes and bolt-ons, not cam profiles fluid dynamics. It always frustrates me when people say it's not performance without a V8. It's just a design that requires 8 cylinders next to one another as opposed to 6 in 2 rows or a W16 or an inline 4. |
Your a bad man comparing a Mustang to a Civic
I gotta admit when I think of performance I think nothing but V8 but im older and grew up around V8's so thats where my thinking comes from
Ig GM stops building V8's then I go back to Ford, if Ford stops then I go to Dodge (in protest)
