What is your favourite engine and why

[Olli]

The McLaren F1 - the best

[mee]

RB26DETT, extremely tunable!!!

strangely enough, maybe, but i kinda like how the V-10 engines of F-1 cars scream...

I like pushrod V8's in general, the Chevy 350 or Ford 302/351W in particular. Damn near unbrakeable, infinitely modifiable, ridiculously easy to work on, almost every mehcanic has had experience with them, cheap to find and build, and they sound and perform great.

[Slicks]

of course it did that with drag slicks and not streetable tires.

Actually the slicks were 100% street legal, that was the point of the car, 100% street legal 8 second car.

Definetly, inexpencive, lightweight, powerful,so tunable, and reliable.

I like the Gen3/Gen4/BOSS290/Windsor engines

[Ferrari Tifosi]

Mine is the Honda RA167-E, used in 1987 by the Williams F1 team. 1.5 Liter V6 twin turbocharged and making somewhere in the area of 900-1000 hp. The Tag-Porsche engines of that same here were cool too, used by McLaren. In fact the turbo era of F1 was just awesome.

My favorite american engine is the chevy 350. It has awesom potential, and when you put the pelad to the floor just about breaks your neck if your not prepared. My favorite engine from Europe>3.6 L. Flat 6 in the porsche gt2.

[Mustang]

i think that the SLR, Koenigsegg CC8s and the TVR sagaris sound amazing so does the M3csl, ford GT, etc...

personally i love the SLR engine , and the CCR eventually

EDIT:/ how could we forget the COsworth engines

BMW Inline 6, they have their V8 and V12 but BMW will never drop its 6. In development since the 1930s.

they had no six between the demise of the 501/6 and the arrival of the 2500. Must have been more than 10 years at least.

I personally like the SR20DET. Though not the most powerful still awesome.

[Spastik_Roach]

I love the old Windsor V8's in the Falcons, cheap, affordable power and they sound absolutely fantastic!

2JZ-GE Twin Turbo Supra engines are awesome aswell. Sound cool and are incredibly strong bases for tuning. That can also be said of SR20DET and RB25DET engines, out of Silvias and Skylines respectively.

[got hemi?]

Hemi!!

[cossie]

love the V8,doesn't matter what,they just sound great but my fav engine for awesome reliability,tuneability and great power to weight is the Cosworth 16V 2.0L turbo as long as it is built right,an engine that is economical and dosile off boost and totally wild on
