Re: Cheap hooligan engines.

I think a lot of people are just turned off by the obscure engine noise produced by a V6

You get a much more beautiful sound by merely adding 2 more cylinders

Re: Cheap hooligan engines.

This thread needs more cheap hooligan engines and less of the only 3 cars in the entire world with a decent v6 :D

Re: Cheap hooligan engines.

just want to say that everyone bashing the v6, most of the logic used was "that engine is useless because it has less cylinders"
by that logic why have anything but a v16 in the game.

you need to remember that in this game the engine bay is going to set limits on how big your engine will be. some cars dont have a long bay so a V6 could be better than a v8 because the block is smaller. you also have to think an inline 6 is the smae leangth as a v12 just not as wide.

if i remember right they plan on adding inline 3&5's and V6-16's

Not to mention I2s (hopefully) and Boxer engines (almost certainly). There might also be W8, W12, W16, W18, Wankel Rotaries, and Inline 8. And probably no V14s.

Re: Cheap hooligan engines.

I think we can scrap the Wx and L2 and ask for flat-twins and V4s instead.

Re: Cheap hooligan engines.

Getting back to the OP's original topic...

Here's one straight out of Ardent's existing stable (as evidenced by the 1998 build year). The Taurus "Killer" 4.8L V8, from the 8th generation of the motor series (and first iteration of this displacement). Or, the short designation... TK8-H.

Don't like 500+ pound engines? You like V8's but also want to be able to parallel park your car on a pad the size of a doormat? Alright... have an Antares series motor! (another slightly off build year, since this product's refresh cycle was in 1996 then not again till 2004).

Behold! The weird-arse AD8-G 2.4L V8! Cheap to build, mostly cheap to maintain, and better reliability than the Taurus to boot!
