what sort of engine do you prefer?

[pro pain]

i voted for n/a, n/a all the way!none of this artificial hp for me! i didnt see lpg there though!

I don't count street cars! its just a different class i see it as and we are not on the street forum realy guys!

And for the record ive been in a TT car on the street and it didn't tickle my fance one bit because it was stupied and you can't get 450+rwkw to grip! and i felt unsafe! still gave me a rush thats for sure!

i love the sound of my turbo diesel hilux... only a small turbo (ct20) but with a free flowing 3 inch exhuast it sounds like a truck but you can hear the turbo spooling on idle... the 8 boys love it when i sit next to them at the lights

n/a all the way you can go past a tuff n/a car
every one knows the saying you gotta be blown to be known but i reckon it should be (your better known for beatin the blown)

if i put LPG everyone would have just voted for it cos of the awesome power

i think it depends on the car and the driver if setup right and drive right 450rwkw shouldn't be a problem.

for street i reckon NA and SuperCharged are the way to go because its instant power. i have decided after i put the new engine in the Daytona later this year, im going to do a nice street car with a 650-700hp NA fuel injected DOHC 5L. might set it up with a 300 shot of NOS when go out to the track.

at least sk11ts and i would have voted for it!
gas gets a bad wrap from every one but theres more power in gas then people give it credit for!
and your all jealous!:1or glaugh:

[kustom67]

supercharged sounds good and the extra power but there are some awsome n/a motors around that can equal the power

ok with the diesel guys at the nats there were two of them from the forces one was a cival engineer and the other was an a electrical engineer and i was talking to one of them for like two hours and had to say mate i need to go and then ten minutes later i just said ok thx for your time i need to go and had to walk off but nice guys

as for street cars this is modified car forums not strip car forums it just happens that a lot of ppl here have dragsters and burnout cars

as for which is really best n/a is the engineering that go's into n/a high performance engines is more than any other for top speed turbos are the best and are ****ing cool when the boost hits you in the face now for drag racing and for ****ing aswom burnouts and making a lot of noise superchargers are best the fastest drag cars use superchagers so they must use them for a reason i think its cuz they the best for drag power

but a superchager sounds tuff on throttle a n/a car sounds good all the time it starts with a lumpy idle due to overlap wich supers cant have than go's all crackley at high rpm due to the un even fuel mix that can never be done right due to the lumpyness of the cam and the comp ratios compaird to a blown engine is big differnce and it changes again due to the cam

ps rotors sound cool like all fast cars do but not very poupular


but the one engine you forgot that is the meanest sounding of all is the radial

yeah they're mega cool but mate you dont see many radial engined cars on the road these days!!!
also i dont think its completely true saying more engineering goes into a high hp n/a than a forced induction motor

The guy who owns it is in the defence force and spends alot of time on tours in Afghanistan.
Alot of the technology has come from the states where they are getting some serious numbers from them, similar setups are used in tractor pulling in europe.

Is the cummins diesel dragcar the XB hardtop that was at the nats this year? If it is what a wicked car looks tuff as who care what it runs on!
