Schooling gayt_x
All right, gayt_x, I've been reading all your posts and have summarized it up in one, simple word.
Ignorance. Total ****ing ignorance.
First of all, mr. gayt, why the **** do you think a car with a smaller engine should work the same way as a car with a bigger engine? A large displacement pushrod V8 does not need a wimpy turbo or some useless VVT because it already has enough fuel, you ****ing car retard. Only small engines need that stuff because they don't have the displacement to pull that shit off.
Secondly, a car with a large displacement and low HP/l has a much better fuel mileage than a huge Ferrari-like engine with high HP/l and VVT.
Look at the mileage on the 8 liter Dodge Viper SRT-10, 10/20 MPG. Compare that to the Ferrari 575M Maranello, a car that just as fast and has less displacement of shall I say, 5.7 liters, but only pulls off an MPG of 8/12.
If a car with a higher displacement wastes more fuel, which is a statement you always claim is true, then why the **** does the Viper pull off a better gas mileage than the the 575M Maranello? The answer is simple. No high HP/L. HP/L is useless for fuel mileage and is only an indicator of how high the RPM levels of a car is. You don't believe what I'm saying between the 2 cars, then check out these links.

Not to mention the Dodge Viper is about 1/4 the price of the Ferrari 575M Maranello. If you don't believe the Viper is not fast enough for the 575M Maranello, look at the stats in the 2 pages. The only thing the 575M Maranello has on the Viper is top speed, nothing more. It also handles much better too.
If you think that was a lucky example, then compare the Corvette Z06 to the BMW M5. The ZO6 has a mileage of 19/28 MPG while the M5 has mileage of 13/21 MPG. Why does the Corvette with higher displacement and much, much better racing performance has a better mileage than the M5? Same answer, asshole. High HP/L is a big waste of fuel. It does nothing for fuel mileage.
Thirdly, you always state American cars can't handle because they have big engines. Compare the Viper and the 575M Maranello again. Engine size does nothing to a car's handling. It's a matter of the car's suspension setting and weight. Nothing more.
Lastly, what the **** is a silly goose? Are you a ****ing 12 year old or something? If you ever ran into me, and called me a silly goose in my face, I will knock the shit out of you senseless before you could say goose!
