    Favourite Engine Poll

    After research the following engine nominations were received and are displayed in order of suggestion. I'm afraid polls are limited to 10 so the following have had to be removed (sorry)

    912 Porsche 917 (NA Flat 12), Any 7.0l Nascar (NA V8) (Might I suggest using the corvette?), VWAG 1.8T 20V Golf etc...(T Straight 4), N5F Escort Cosworth (T Inline 4).

    Might I suggest adding the 4 cylinder engines to the 4 cylinder engine thread?

    Key;
    NA = Normal Aspiration, TT = Twin Turbos, S = Supercharged, T = Turbocharged

    Thankyou all for your suggestions.

    There's an English saying called either "You've missed the last bus" or "You've missed the last boat"; basically you're too late.

    Is that F130 Ferrari engine anything like the three-liter V12's in the 250-series Ferraris? If so, I'll go with that, and if not, the NASCAR V8 - My dad's Mach 1's engine is pretty closely related to the Ford NASCAR V8, they're both Cleveland designs
    An it harm none, do as ye will

    I love my V8s, especially if they're Yank, but they need a little tuning to get the best out of 'em... naturally, an all time favourite is Audi's biturbo V8!

    Out of those, The 1.5 litre V16 in the BRM V16.

    I like Westlake V8s and Jaguar Straight Sixes.

    No.

    Its the V12 derived from the 199something F1 car, and saw service powering the F50 and 333SP race car.

    That would have been my choice if it weren't for the BMW unit that powers the Mclaren F1.
    Thanks for all the fish
