Can't. Be. Un. Seen.. !

YOU don’t know anyone who’d be that dumb. But, you gotta admit theres a lot of dumb people out there. Combine that with desperation and you're off to the races!

Or... What’s it REALLY Like?!!

Higher RPM is also another way to get more power out of a smaller/lighter package. Cheaper to produce, more fuel efficient.

How the hell does it know the thermostat failed? flow/pressure measurements? shenanigans. At least a stat is only like 20 bux.

Exactly. Tolerancing, Forging, Machining, Annealing, Oil, Polishing, Quality Control all contribute more to the rise in RPM than the switch from pushrod to OHC. Tolerancing probably the most. Sure, Pushrods increase valve train weight -> inertia which makes it difficult to reach insane RPM levels but it can be done.…

Although its true, if you’re going for efficiency turbos are the way hence the lack of S/C’s. BUT, Mazda supercharged the Mazda Millenia in order to better run on the Miller Cycle. Subaru experimented with Miller Cycle engines too but I don’t think it made it to production.

Its a square relation. F=mrw^2. at least for centrifugal force. so yeah, it gets harder sure. But we more than have the tech. production cars only started revving past 6k recently but more importantly economically. considering this is supposed to be the most opulent thing ever, i’m sure they can splurge on some high…

No dude, this thing is fucking huge. for sure longer than the one in this car. Remember, it was an I-8 that displaced up to 6 liters! Is this a 12-liter V16? Also, I wouldn't be surprised if bores were spaced further apart back in the 40's. weight and space were never an issue back then.

Less Revs, sure. But not 2000 lol. I should know, I have a 47 Pontiac - Most 40’s I-8’s make peak power between 3500 and 4000 rpm. However, the advancements in tribology and manufacturing could easily make that crank spin from 4500 up to 6500 instead.

The WS6 is the only 4th Gen I really Like. I love F-body's up to the end of 3rd Gen. 4th gen reminded me too much of a cavalier. But the WS6 was somehow cool in all its 90's outlandish glory.

There is more material for flex, but there’s also more bearings and the added mass-damping effects. I wonder how much longer this crank is than the cranks they used to use in old inline-8’s from the 40’s and beyond? I mean, this thing is essentially as long as an I-8, no? And they didn’t have fancy machining processes…

That they are not. They're fun in their own way but they leave you longing.

haha, my daily is an '02 Pathy. Can't get any closer than that! I use it as a workhorse in the same way. Mountain bikes, snowboard, towing, loads, it does it all. I think tiny roadsters like that are sweet and I'd love to have one. But, since I can't have a hundred cars they aren't high enough the pecking order :( who…

I was 15 when I bought my first car, a third-gen bitchin’ Camaro! But, it had no engine. I figured I’d spend the next summer building one up and getting it on the road. I sourced a small-block long-block from a ‘71 pickup - The car came with a T5 trans. The T5 trans uses a 153 tooth flywheel which was unheard of back…

TRIAL BY FIRE, BITCHES!
