and with all there bad points, they will still hose a plastic in standard guise
Hard arguement standard as 308 is a little handicaped in cubic inches, then the Falcon is handicaped with weight when compared to a Torana. Is an L34 with high output option standard?
Anyhow an L34 and Phase 2 are the only standard cars that have impressed me. Which was faster I dont know, but on a race track Im sure the L34 would win if its cr*p diff and gearbox didnt fall apart.

 I think this is getting back to the original question of pinnacle of V8 design rather than American or Aussie iron. Edited by user Sunday, 24 May 2009 11:25:53 PM(UTC)

Wouldnt the pinnacle of factory V8 Muscle have to be the following?
427 in GT500;
Boss 302 as per Moffats Mustang;
ZL-1 69 427 Camaro/Corvette;
68 Z28 302 Chev;
426 Hemi.
In Aussie terms:
XW GT-HO phase II;
HT GTS350 manual;
VH E55.
In pure carb/dizzy/2 valve terms. Its hard to compare modern multivalve, EFI, ECU controlled stuff like the W427.

Yep I agree. Very Funny.
Whats real funny is that 4 pages later the Basketcase still doesnt understand how to use a multimeter.

....for the benefit of the tape, I was trying to state that Fords 5.4 V8 was about the end of reasonable design development for a V8, as opposed to muscle, which for the translation is nothing more than whos got the most cubes....basically. I mean why stop at 7 litres...go for 8...!!! Its interesting to note the europeans are going the opposite way.
And as I also stated a supercharged 5.4 would be massive to say the least.
Sebring Orange.....a 68 Hemi Dart does a 10 sec quarter....but like most yank tanks still cant go around a corner. try a 68 Porsche.or even a Fiat.
Its hard to compare multi valve engines Byron...well Im not sure why...??
multi valve engines have been around for a dam long time...early 70s ... so Holden has had more than enough chance to keep up, instead of constantly sticking to there old two valve pushrod non cross flow designs......its called shunning technology.....
again I say look at what the europeans are doing....?
As for the Bathurst crew on this thread....yes its a great race ...but put it into perspective....alot of manufactures are not allowed to race here...remmember the awesome inspiring Ford Sierra
Cosworth of 1987, the Nissan GTR...just imagine how competitive BMWs M3 would be........the twin turbo 3 litre six......why isnt it a V8.....??
...because V8s have already got to the pinnacle of design......
.....?
