A 4-Wheels Thread About Absolutely Nothing!

No V4's. :(
I've determined the horsepower is too low on 4 cyl's, V6 is a must. I figure I still need the "oomph" power when I floor it, or uphill drives.

You can not underestimate my sports hatch - which is a 4 cylinder and has enough grunt to beat a rice nissan. :mad2:

not really. when you drive in here - you'll see that it's underpowered. even my bike is underpowered. I'm currently searching for more powerful bike. 1000cc :mad2:

It's ok for smaller cars because the weight is less to compensate for it, and you have the option of going with smaller wheels for quick power too.

Meanwhile doing/going 4cyl on a SUV is no good, it's like a 4000lb+ brick that doesn't get the zip-zoom when pegged.

Which definitely need a V8 however - my father owns a Ford monedo, which is a heavy car, and is a 4 cylinder turbo - perhaps the turbo helps to move the car? :dunno:

the V8s here are hardly used due to ridicuous gas prices and V8 is always thirsty

:lol: I don't need to research because my father owns a diesel car - but just wanted to see what it impacts in the U.S
 
JClarke said:
So Jiro, what does 'not really' means with diesel cars in the U.S? Please explain.

he's not going to get a car. I don't think we have V6 diesel car here.
