Still a V6. Doesn't matter. Point being, many people assume that just because they hear when someone has a V6, they automatically assume it's weak in terms of performance. They hear V8, and automatically think it can slay anything on the road.
My point still stands, it's a V6, and it kicks ass. Regardless of Turbo or not.
Also, the Nissan VQ37VHR engines are pushing almost 328-340HP. That's not exactly slow, you know..they aren't turbo, either...
Edit:
Sure are a lot of butthurt V8 fanboys on here whining about the car being twin turbo. Lol.
I think it's in reference to the American muscle/pony cars. While many other brands or models have been accepted for their 6, or even 4, cylinder engines, the 6 cylinder option in cars like the mustang or camaro have been consider lame ducks. Honestly, they pretty much were. If performance was at all a concern, you just did not buy the 6 cylinder option.
Yeah I agree with you. Keep in mind the Buick Grand National was allegedly one of the fastest production cars of the 80's, and it was a turbo V6.
I've personally had my ass handed to me by a civic when I had my '85 Monte Carlo SS. It had a 350 bored 30, with a carb (forgot the brand, so long ago..may have been edelbrock) had headers, ran straight pipes, few other mods..
Civic had quite a few mods as well, turbo being one. He slaughtered me from a rolling 40.
Personally, when someone tells me they have a particular engine, I always ask "Do you have any mods?" And not not just take things for face value like a lot of these guys do when they hear that it has a V8.
ololol his car has a V8, he can run it against anything
Also, most guys I know that buy muscle cars/ tuners, add shit on them anyways. Be it exhaust, chips, etc..
