Message: <blockquote data-quote="deacon" data-source="post: 1800678" data-attributes="member: 12923">I think when it comes to NA engines once again you can't compare the Japanese to the Americans.There are two different philosophies at stake here. One is low rev big displacement (Max 6500 rpm for peak American horsepower.) and the other is slightly higher revving with lower displacement.There are pros and cons to both engine configurations. High revving means more engine stress. Lower revving and bigger displacement makes the American V8 more reliable in the long run.I wouldn't be so quick to condemn American muscle, they just don't know how to make cars handle good. If you need a fresh breath of where American cars are moving in technology check out the new Chevy Corvette with the LS6 engine or even Hemi V8s made by Dodge, these engines aren't just brutish but provide a lot of torque - something Japanese V8s do not provide due to low displacement.As well, high revving Japanese engines consume nearly as much fuel with less displacement and the same amount of cylinders in a race - higher rate of combustion.Whereas low revving American cars spend a constant amount of fuel at high and low rpm bands.Its kinda like i said both got plus and minus.By the way, Corvettes and Vipers have won Le mans whereas the NSXs only managed an unfortunate 7th place in GT2. And on the other hand we have BMW M3 racers which couldn't win anything using the inline 6 M3 engine, only when the made the M3 GTR with M5 V8s then they managed to win.Lots of things to consider ;)Two ways to think about this one.</blockquote>
