So V8's Are An Oz Thing?

There's no replacement for displacement

agreee with dan the man.. the monaro was exported to the uk well before the R8 and so on... according to top gear the r8 has since replaced the monaro in the uk market,

just what i have gathered from top gear.

also agree with topaz

australian or should i say american V8's arent much chop. getting bigger and bigger with minimal power out put increases.. where the euro v8 arent much bigger then 4L and much more powerful, clearly they are more expensive but thats got to be more to do with the car they come in more so then the technology and R&D in the motor themselves...

still want a big V8 tho.

'V8'culture seems to all about 1/4 times and HP bragging rights.

I'm not saying it sucks just it's a bit narrow and anachronistic. Like it's still the 60's.

I don't see much in the mags about handling and stuff, 'track' racing etc....hard to do in a car w/ a big block Chevy obscuring vision, a weight of 2 tons and a live axle I guess. It's all 1/4 times and HP, chrome, nasty alloy wheels etc

Still the sound of a big V8 does sound cool all spluttering and clattering at the lights....

Thats like saying all imports are about ugly body kits and cannon exhausts

In many cases that is a sad truth Kralos...

I saw a honda with a huge sparkling graphic saying "Fast & Furious" across the windscreen, and another sparkly sticker along the side saying "Prelude" just today. Supercheap plastic looking rims.... f**king piece of shit.
