volkswagens V8s are great too... although there more of a W config
got to painstaking reading all the earlier posts, but am just going to say ls9 in the zr1 corvette x2 thumbs up
mugen built v8
or any other f1 company for that matter
when holden/gm can make a v8 good enough to race in the with the best
its just a over rated motor

needs visuals :)
for classic sound definately the 454ci GM comes to mind :)
best in the world, so many nice variants, euros would get my vote (mmm AMG sedan, love the CL) or the custom made block and head that's in this Studebaker that drove to a show I was at in Ohio from a few states over, Summit Racing ftmfw :), and some others from the show including 454 equipped Nova and 600ci gm performance packed Camaro

mmm Ford powered Celica, fits better than the toyota v8, more room to get around, cheap as chips, more aftermarket support, win win

Audi V8'sake the most deliciously mellow sound. But Ferrari V8s get my vote.
i dont want to start shit here but correct me if im wrong, it was under my impression that the mugen v8 was based on the 308 which is a GMH motor, just internals they did.Quote:

EDIT?
my bad i thought it was the mugen v8 that was in discussion not the honda one.... but any comfirmation on the origins?
honda is a premier motor building company as if they need a dinosaur design of a another company to design a motor which can spin to 19k rpm
big blocks
new fav, 6.3L AMG quiet when cruising but one once of force on the pedal unleashes bloody Satan :)
