nipper Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 "classic america muscle" is built in austrailia ..... I just love fact checking nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 6.0 displacement vs 2.5 is just amazing. Go Subaru!!! Gotta admit I do like the Yellow paint on the GTO though, but if I had 33,000 dollars lying around I would probably have the $ to get it painted.

kimokalihi Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I don't understand how they can only have 400 HP with a 6.0 liter engine these days. Lame. Sure it's a lot but I expect more. If you're going to make a fast car that has 300+hp you might as well screw gas milage all together and make it as fast as possible. I guess it wouldn't sell as much but go big or go home.

shaggywerewolf Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Meh....it's a large displacement, pushrod engine. Wasn't designed for efficient power generation; just lots of power generation. It wouldn't be "classic american muscle" any other way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes falling for the marketing myth.. You need to look at the Hp AND torque, as well as when they happen. Cubic inches beats RPM for displacement and longevity everytime. GTO 400 HP at 5200 rpm 400 lb-ft torque at 4000 Rpm WRX STI 230hp at 5600rpm 235 lb-ft torque at 3600 Rpm Another thing is that the HP numbers on high perfomance engines are watered down for insurance reasons. Its one area where the insrunace companies dont test themselves. Numbers tend to be rounded down once they hit a specific level for a given displacement. Not to mention they just changed the way they state HP numbers, so all the numbers across the board are lower. Torque numbers have not been changed. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
