And every road car with an “F1" Engine has been either terrible or unreliable or both.

The downfall of the cam - in - block V8 is emission and variable valve timing, sure the later LS and LT motors have cam phasing meaning they can only retard or advance the cam, but they cannot change lobe separation angle. The Viper engine used this funky but awesome cam-in-cam design that would be phenomenal in the…

And a large displacement V8 at 8000+ RPM sounds better than any “refined” DOHC motor. 

Not really. The first LT1 was in 1970, it was a warmed up 350CID / 5.7L generation 1 small block chevy, Then there was the early 1990's LT-1 which was a Generation II small block it had roller cams, a terrible new ignition system, sequential fuel injection and a reverse flow cooling system. The LS was a white paper…

Redline: Ok, you got me here, pushrods don’t rev too well.

GT86's are shit track cars, regardless of tire.

I dont get the Coyote hate. They’re fantastic motors, and their valvetrain makes them stable to 9K. Add some boost and they are going to be rockets.

No naturally aspirated camaro is beating an LFA in any kind of race.

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…
