Every significant British Supercar has an American based engine in it. Period.
They are more dependable than Ferrari, Lambos, Porsche, and an all other exotics. The American Engines are the only ones that you can hit with a hammer and make them work. The Swedish supercar is Ford derived. The SSC and several of the top RING cars. And...... for the record America is home of the V8 and invented the crossplane crank. So the firing order and sound of even the German Vs sound like American 8s.
Way to go, great to see the car corrected by a decent V8. If the brits would have put a proper engine in them the first time it wouldn't have to be swapped out by a superior engine. The I6 has a quarter of the power, weighs more and is vastly less reliable.
@barnaba1964 In what way is this destroying the car? I see a great classic british sports car with a faster american engine. Not that theres anything wrong with british engines. But i think he should be rewarded for his idea.
@barnaba1964 So let me get this straight... Ur mad because he has a faster engine in his car that runs, and sounds good? wow everything must be backwards in the UK.
@gangstapanda102 vintage car is like a beautiful work of art. In America desecrated all the vintage cars and not only the vintage English cars but also the italian sport cars ... I saw the american V8 engine on the old Alfa Romeo spider. is absurd!
