Ferrari Tipo 049 (3.0L) in Schumacher's F1-2000

 

And I am a touch jealous of you.. Even though this is just a picture of you in a car that you broke in to just to sit in it..

 

Audi 2.7T (unless I'm working on it)

 

1987 Buick 3.8 V6 intercooled turbocharged. 0-60 3.9secs.

 

chevy 350 small block (most used block in the US)
6.6L Duramax
454 big block

 

1.0L 3-Cyl turbo that was in my Chevy Sprint. That car was a blast, and was way too easy to work on. Did three engine swaps in the damn thing haha. It was a gateway car into the modification scene for me.

I'm liking the 4.0L V6. It could probably use a super-charger though.

 

ZZ4 Chevy crate motor I had in an 87 Corvette

 

Any air cooled Porsche flat 6....unless it happens to be leaking oil in my garage.

If we expand this beyond cars / trucks, then this: (Mercury 1650)

 

Buick 455. My father had an old LeSabre for towing the family trailer, and this was the car I first learned to drive. 350 HP from the factory. It was a beast.

 

Fords new 5.0 is pretty beast!!

 

gonna have to go with the 5VZ-FE ... the 3.4L yota v6.... god damn things are bullet proof.

 

+1.

 

Toyota 4.7 in the 4th gen 4R
Subaru Turbo, EJ25
Ford 3.5 EB
Ford Coyote 5.0
Honda J-Series V6

 

Is there anything more bombproof than the 22RE?

 

All but the 2.7 head-stud popper. 1970's era 911.

 

1776cc vw I liked better.

 

Nissan VG30DETT Way ahead of it's time and still relatively advanced even by todays standards. But working on it in-car is absolute murder.

 

3.0 SHO V6 in the old Taurus. Yamaha had their ducks in a row on that one. Teenage dream right there.

Then there was the V12 in the Diablo SE30... I mean, the car has a frickin' bull on the front! Who didn't have a poster of one of these in their bedroom? The guy that designed the Prius, that's who! You feel like your racing in park just sitting in the drivers seat. Let alone when it starts up, it just commands the attention of anyone in the area.

Nowadays, the supercharged 5.8 liter in the 2013-2014 GT500s. That engine is such a beast and it's very easy to get even more than the stock 660HP out of it. The supercharger sounds like a jet engine and the exhaust note is pure sex. 180MPH with that Porsche fading in your rearview? Yes please!
