Since when was sound so important?

 

Why not offer both? The V8 will still be around for the trucks.

I would be in favor of a SC V6 over a TT. TT will add more money to the cost than a SC.

 

That was my thinking. Keep the Hemi for us diehard V8 fans and the TTV6 for those who want it.

 

that is a very good option (keeping both). it is what ford is doing with their ecoboost engines and it might play out to be a good business idea. i would just be upset about any decision to replace all V8's with TT or SC V6's.

midnight, its a personal preference. put an exhaust on a V8 and then listen to the sound involved and you will understand

 

Buick GN single turbo, Buick GNX twin turbo both 3.8L pushrods.
OK, let's put the on the Phoenix, 3.6L DI (lower torque boost) with VVT only good for 280 Hp. Ford's 3.5L with DI and Turbo 340 Hp ( truck replacement engine ).
Their getting close, but need a hair more to be in Ford's pocket.
Just add a variable vane turbo and they'll get the boost and the fuel mileage to boot. Of course that'll have to be engineered and programmed into the computer, but wait for the aftermarket programmers for all of these engines!!

 

Well, now that I think about it, how about this scenario. What happens with a 3.6L VVT DI variable Turbo going down the highway on 3 cylinders and starts up a hill. I'm going to guess first it would apply a richer fuel first, second an adjustment with the valves, then maybe next add a little turbo , before then activating the other 3 cylinders??
More cylinders equals more cubic inches , thus more fuel???
What a engineering nightmare as far as programming, but not impossible!!

 

It would bring back the other 3 first like the MDS does. You don't want to deadhead boost in the intake system with half of the intake valves not opening.

 

I personally prefer the sounds of an inline 5 or 6 engine... I really like the engine note my canyon makes when i rev it up

 

guess somebody has never heard a small block V8 w/ a good exhaust system... lol j/k everyone likes different things

 

Lol. I like the sound of angry bumble bees. Thus my two imports. (j/k)


I'll +1 to a TTV6 AWD Avenger coupe. But only if they put a 6-speed manual in it.
