Flat plane crank? Check. 9000+ RPM? Check. 600+ HP? Check. Cheaper than a Ferrari motor? Check.

Yeah 310k miles is nothing for an LQ4 and 4L80, if maintained.

It’s also not as good as a 4v 4.6 for making power. If John Mihovets is making 3000HP out of a production block. 

For being what? slower?

And the BMW would still be faster with an LS3. It would be WAY faster with an LSA. 

Actually it makes 27% more horsepower and torque torque at 3000 RPM.

So good in fact the entire automobile industry was shut down in Australia.

That additional 1.2l makes more power and torque clearly.

Ok sure, but the S65 is physically larger, less reliable and makes slightly less power and WAAAAAY less torque. It’s not impressive in the least, only that Roundel is nifty.

I’m just going to let the dyno charts do the talking (Same Dyno, Same Location and the ambient was 106 when the Camaro was run)

The Lexus V10 is not an impressive engine. For all of its complexities to only make 552 hp and an wholly underwhelming 354 ft/lbs of torque constitutes failure in my book. The LFA was so bad they still havent sold them all. The truth is the LFA would probably be faster with an LS7 in it.

The LS3 debuted in 2010, the LS3 heads took everything that was great about the LS7 head design and packaged it for a 6.0/6.2 the heads flow 300+ CFM at .600 lift which was better than most 4v DOHC heads at that time. You and I both know that most LS3 powered vehicles are a cam swap, headers and a tune away from

I’ve spent at least 18 hours flogging one over a weekend with 0 issues. The Corvette Racing team only had one engine failure in their first 11 years of racing at Le Mans.

The problem with the LS is that while it is a great engine, it has no character.”

Nah, Sorry.

Gray is the way.

After my Why Your Car Sucks articles got taken down for some unbeknownst reason (over 100k page views) I lost interest in writing for you.

here’s the step by step guide.

It’s a very easy K series swap away from true glory.
