Fuck your hondas, V8s are where it's at....

Ok fine u spend at least $5,600 a yr on gas driving a v8. Why not get a 4cyl and save on gas and still have a reasonably quick car (swapped) that gets high 20's mpg.

Why are you still trying to tell people how to spend their money? What business is it of yours?


Anyways, do you even know how much MPGs the new V8s some manufacturers are putting out?


I still get about 26mpg on the highway out of boost. So whats your point?

i have to agree and kinda disagree.

whatever anyone wants to do with their own paycheck is on them, i agree there bub.

I haven't heard of any of the new V8's getting very good gas mileage, and they all average around 385-400whp from the factory. Although the new V6 mustang is impressive as hell and I think it's the best power per dollar and still maintaining the factory driveability and warranty out there, for about $26-$28K you can also have a realiably boosted 400-450whp 4cy that still gets 32mpg's on the highway. The 2006-2011 Civic Si gets great gas mileage, and most of us that are boosted on the 6262 turbo's or the GT30/GT35R's are getting great gas mileage too. And I've had my car for 90K miles now and it's been boosted since 40K. No issues with longevity since i"m only running 12-14psi, and only 8psi on the streets daily.


but I thought this thread had turned into the whole "BMW vs. GTO" fight?!?! where'd that go? lol...

The new Coyote 5.0 in the new 2012 Mustangs get 26mpgs highway.

And I used to own a boosted 4 banger WRX, and it got no better gas mileage than my current boosted V8.


And sorry even if in some fantasy world it got 35mpg, I would sacrifice 5-10mpg for the driving experience. Hands down.


You people think that we get 5mpg or some shit driving around and have to fill up every 100 miles?

easy killer...

and yea, when you look at the domestic's gas mileage from the old school way of making engines, gas mileage was crap compared to now.

but I think all of us here are into performance anyways, so.... you gotta pay to play and if people are worried about gas mileage, DON'T mod your car, whether it's a V8, 4Cy, or a scooter.
