Doesn't that basically just make it a pair of inline 4s bolted back to back?

What is the reasoning behind that? How is it in any way better than a V8? [e] that link seems to indicate that basically all the advantages are in manufacturing and use of the engine on multiple platforms, and it's worse in most other ways. orange lime fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Mar 5, 2010 |

It's not so much an I8 as a 2x4, really.

That would be eight pistons, all in a row, with the transmission seperating four from four. Cool. But... is that guy stupid? "Here's the 4 liter V-8! Note the DOHC inline-8".

Pilsner posted:Cool. Noticed the V8! V8! too. Pretty surprising for an "enthusiast" website. Very cool nevertheless. We had an 85 Topaz in a 5sp. It was a complete turd and Mom got rid of it within a year. My boss's wife had a AWD tempo. The only thing I really remember about it in particular was that it ate rear u-joints all the time. At least once a year.

I'd imagine it reduces crankshaft whip, and it apparently allows you to package an eight-cylinder into a Tempo engine bay. I wonder how the packaging on a T-drive v12 would work....That would be two v6 engines seperated by the transmission in the middle.

I'd just like to hear one rev (under load of course for you  types). Half the fun of the different engines is how they sound when driven in anger. The only straight eights I've heard are usually in rather old luxury/touring cars, and they don't usually get the tits driven off them.

A 1978 car with only 7500km and the owner "loves driving it"? Something doesn't compute there. Maybe the owner thinks the first 100,000 miles on it are a "freebie" since the odometer turned over?

I remember he had a build page for it too. If I remember right he actually used it as his family van. There was a story of him taking it to a track and telling the officials he was running 12's in it. They were all obviously unimpressed and just told him when to stage. Well of course he busts out a 12 and a course official runs up afterwards to toss him a helmet.

Why do some people think the best way to sell a car is to be a complete dick? Even if I did have poor enough taste to want to buy that car, I wouldn't even go look at it based on how much of an rear end in a top hat the guy sounds like in the ad.

Has always run great for me, only minor problems like driver side door doesnt open, crack in windshield, heat doesn't work etc... I think there is something wrong with the thermostat, but it's a nice car and I really have no need for it anymore, if interested email zachdubois2@gmail.com or text/call 6512691696. I'm asking 1500 b/o bluebook is 1395 good condition without an autostart. And less than an hour later: http://fargo.craigslist.org/cto/1635291904.html re: 94 grand prix posted:So you're asking MORE than the book value when the heat doesn't work, the drivers side door doesn't open but it's worth more because it has a crappy auto start? Am I correct? What good is the auto start if the heat doesn't even work? Thats dumb dude it's worth about $1000 and you didn't even list how many miles it has on it, these had a 3.1 engine and those got to about 190,000 max before they crapped ou and that's if they were taken good care of,t so if it even near that it's not going to last very much longer. And there's more: http://fargo.craigslist.org/cto/1635392972.html re:re: 94 grand prix posted:His replay to me: "You are a loving idiot autostarts are 300 new, and i said best offer which mean 1500 is a starting point.

It's pretty obviously a scam. Those pictures are recompressed multiple times from being ripped from the last time it was legitimately listed. Plus, any C5 in that condition is worth minimum 10k no matter how high the miles are or what stupid mods are done.
