...what? V8s come in all shape and size cars many of which America has and uses to compete with the foreign groups. I dont see anything wrong with them could you expand?
I like high revving engines, and I like a small, light V8. 5.0 litres is about as big as I would want a V8. I don't really like a V8 that makes its power down low; I prefer something that revs to at least 7000 rpm. Also, American V8s tend to be in cars that aren't all that sporting, but are suited to cruising and straight line speed. The Dodge Challenger comes to mind. Powerful, but not much fun in the twisties. The Corvette is something of an exception for me, as it has a very good chassis, though I'd still prefer it with a high strung engine (though that would raise the cost, negating some of the Corvette's appeal).
Of course, what all this really means is that, generally speaking, I don't like American cars. Too big, heavy, soft, and inefficient. I like sports cars that are light and handle really well, but don't mind not having much power. I don't like soft suspension, nor do I like retro styling very well. I love European cars for their style, refinement, and driving experience.
I could listen to a 1967 Camaro all day, but would I buy one? Absolutely not. I'd rather own and drive an MGB, even thogh it's slower, smaller, less practical, and less reliable
Your tastes differ from mine, and I try my best to respect that, though I admit that sometimes I don't do a very good job of that, and I apologise. I've been posting what
I want to see in the new Mustang. You're far more likely to buy a Mustang than I am, though, so Ford would probably be wise to listen to you, Slashfan, W&N, and others. Me? Not so much.
Those were generally crap.
