ANF Posted 1November, 2016 Report Share Posted 1November, 2016 Love it, except for all the gizmos attached to it!They used to make a really sweet inline 6, the m104 Side point, try and find a NA engine now in a new car.... and a V8.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 1November, 2016 Report Share Posted 1November, 2016 I read that earlier today. Very interesting with the Electric turbo (or I suppose it would be better to call it an electric supercharger). I am interested to see how smoothly it all works together.

tazzieman Posted 1November, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 1November, 2016 Real nostalgia is an inline 8. Or a flat 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGB Posted 2November, 2016 Report Share Posted 2November, 2016 So as a proud, early adopting 928 GTS owner I can't be of the belief that our C63s has a better exhaust note? Even with an RMB fitted to the GTS... Yeah old skool shmould skool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 2November, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 2November, 2016 Fender vs Gibson , Marshall vs Vox , we could argue all day about personal preferences! At least you can hear the exhausts in these cars, and we agree that electric cars are , um like amps with no speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 2November, 2016 Report Share Posted 2November, 2016 You can believe what you want to comrade Sort of off track from the point I was trying to make, I cannot if I want to buy a NA V8, 6 or what ever easily.... most makers with the exception of a very limited few have abandoned NA engines. I think this indeed is very sad. all for the sake of a few CO2 emissions.... blinded by beaurocracy are the car makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGB Posted 2November, 2016 Report Share Posted 2November, 2016 It was a sad time when the guy with the red flag stopped walking along in front of the car to warn the yokels. His voice was something... Fender vs Gibson , Marshall vs Vox , we could argue all day about personal preferences! At least you can hear the exhausts in these cars, and we agree that electric cars are , um like amps with no speakers.I'm not arguing personal prefs, I'm telling you what's better. insert emoji; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
