lets see, my '75 F100 which practically never gets used has a 460 thats what like 6.4?
'68 mustang is a 289 which is 4.6
Honda civic Hybrid is like 1.2

lol... astonishing to see ppl from US all drive 4+ liter cars. Those trucks and plump american cars with 5.7 liters have less HP than most 2 liter european and asian cars.

1.9 JTD - Alfa 156 Sportwagon, Diesel

All of my current cars are European.

actually your 460 is more like a 7.5 litre

and the 289 is 4.7 but I think it is the same block that they bored and stroked out a bit to end up with a 302 which is basically a 5.0

Car is 2.3; I have no idea what the inherited Ranger is.

Hehe you beat me on the litres but I have you beat on the horsepower ;)

5.0 L, 522hp V-10

I would hate to think what you guys pay to fill up your tanks over in europe :(

That's because the Americans havent made a decent engine in ages. Why is it that a 6+ litre engine makes 350hp? It'd be making 600 if it was even remotely efficient at what it was built to do.

Also, I hate how North American's get stiffed when it comes to mini trucks. We have the Ford Ranger which is basically a giant pos since it doesn't have a diesel option. And to add to that - Why the hell would ANYONE buy a pickup with a gas engine? A pickup without a diesel makes you look like a bro-douchebag. Nothing's cooler then a diesel truck with 600lb-ft of torque at like 2000 rpm. They get way better fuel mileage, can haul tons of weight, and sound kickin' rad. Gasoline engines? Waste of time in a truck.. Unless you're one of those aformentioned bro-douchbags who never actually uses it for anything other than driving to the grocery store and never bothering to use your signals.

My daily transportation is a hilariously slow 1.7 litre honda civic that gets 30-something mpg in the city. My not-so-daily is a 2.6L skyline GTR that gets really good gas mileage for what it is, and still makes the kind of power that gets licenses suspended :pimp

5.7 Magnum in my Durango R/T ...

Yes, I work from home and drive an SRT8 with a gas guzzling 6.1L V8. But I work from home so at least I am not driving to work everyday...

425hp and 420tq isn't too bad no? Underrated from 450hp anyways. What are the 6.0L non-American engines making?

was obviously talking about "Those trucks and plump american cars with 5.7 liters" not supercars heh..

I have to run 94 or she pings like mad. I advanced the timing 2 degrees and so far so good. I keep wanting to go from Super to Premium to test it but haven't done so yet.

I love my i6 'Stang ... nearly 19 MPG and she takes cheap gas (hardened valve seats during the engine rebuild)

my cars:
4.2L
3.6L
1.8L

3.0L
1.8L
2.0L (coming soon)

4.0L 6 cylinder petrol here.

This is a typical engine for family sized sedans (Ford Falcon / Holden Commodore) in Australia. SUVs are (unfortunately) becoming more popular here in recent years.

when you buy a 5.7 liter truck you are not buying it for HP you are buying it for torque and towing capacity. my truck is slow as fuck but ive ripped a tree stump out of the ground with it, i would love to see a 2 liter turbo diesel do that.

1.9L diesel

CLS 63 AMG


2.0 TFSI 10L/100km 200HP

2.0L 200 hp

if you compare the torque you will see that a 2.0L diesel is not far from your 5.7L gas engine

and i don't doubt that SOME people might need a truck, but how many truck owners are ripping tree stumps out of the ground on a daily basis?

or would it make sense to drive something smaller with 40-50 mpg and rent something big for a day from the saved money if you really feel like ripping tree stumps? ;)

LOL beat me to it exactly what i was thinking :1orglaugh

Whatever is in a Navigator

I'm not sure but it's huge, I have a 89 Roll's so the engine is the same one designed in the 50's. it's heavy as fuck!

one of my dream cars is a W12, twin turbo 6.0L DOHC 48-valve EFI

one day ill be rich enough to afford it lol

may be you can tell in inches? is it 7" or larger? :winkwink:

Oops I voted for the wrong one.

3.6L V6 on my Cadillac CTS.

my new jeep is the i6 4.0L. old one was the 4.2 i6.

6.0 Liters.. V-8..in a big Ole SUV

I think a better question is, how much is everyone spending on gas each week? I'm spending probably about $35 or less, with a 6.1L V8. How much gas are YOU using? ;)

Gas went up in the states but it is still cheaper than europe. Paying 5.5 Euros / l (1 litre = 0.264 us gallons) is quite alot.

I assure you my 2L turbo diesel bmw sedan has enough torque to pull a tree stump out of the ground. As long as its not some ridiculously large tree stump.

383 stroker lingenfelter vette C4

I keep it simple.. I have a 2004 chevy malibu 4 cylinder, gets about 30mpg cheap on gas and I mash the shit out of the car.. I'm gonna get a new one soon, just about done paying this one off.. will prolly go with a Toyota Hybrid next... I don't need a fast car to pull pussy..

well just bought a 2nd hand 2.2 yesterday ;)

It gets really good gas mileage..

3.9 or 3.6 can not remember, and for the size, it does ok on mpg.

Have one 2.5LTR V6 in a Tx-5 goes pretty hard, Other car is a runabout 1.3LTR Lancer...

Cayenne Turbo 4.5 L 450hp 16 mpg
Ruf 550 3.6 L 550 hp 18 mpg

our car is a 5.7L V8 345HP Hemi that gets 18MPG combined

our SUV is a 5.7L V8 405HP that gets 16MPG combined

My CURRENT main driver is a Cherokee 5.7 Hemi but I'm going to be driving the 4.0 Wrangler around town when I don't need to room to haul stuff. The Cherokee only gets about 11-12 MPG driving up and down the mountains.

I wasn't able to drive it (stick shift) after 2 surgeries in the fall and just got a new battery for it yesterday. I actually forgot how much fun it is to drive :) Plus it's a "convertible" :) :) :) But driving it in traffic in ATL is just past my patience point so the Cherokee will still get driven.

ummmm how many liters are in a horse?

I wouldn't be able to leave my house with a 2.0L engine - that's important to me :thumbsup My 4.0 can do it, but it has to be put into 4WDH.

1.9 DOHC 4 cylinder. 32/40mpg, although I drive very little and 1 fill up lasts at least 12 months. I think gas was just $3.00 or so the last time I filled up.

what is it dread?

we are so fucked in N America, not enough diesels available

1.8 and very happy with it. But then I like small cars.

For a Quick Bite

$250 or so .... will be spending more soon.

The V8 with a hipo cam drinks gas like an adult webmaster at an open bar
