Haha! My knowledge must be stuck with American muscle cars :) they are beautiful. Even if they only get 6 mpg. My little Toyota Tacoma (helix to all the uk folk) has a 3.4 liter V6. Lots of torque but little horsepower. I can't believe you guys have to pay 1.40 pounds per liter for gas.
@Defiance3989 GM division. it wasn't until the 90s that GM had been universalizing engines. The GM 60 degree V6, the LT-1 (chev small block originally), the LS engines, and the amazingly reliable Buick 231 V6 later to become the GM 3800 Series-1,2,3 engine are examples of all-division GM engines.
this is like the 305 vs 307 thing. 305-chevy, 307-olds
@stn963 3.5 is better, simply cause its lighter, and (where in this situation not as much torque is needed) with a high horsepower engine that spools up allot faster that a 426, it would actually better! but a 426 would look completely badass in that thing!
I like the 3.5 v8 idea but in a robin it is just a waste of good engine.
it is a waste. it is the equivelent of being able to time travel but the using the ability to post a letter when the post office has just closed rather than going to see dinosaurs or the bnirth of jesus christ or taking jesus to go and see dinosaurs.
lmfao this car is so gay

@stn963 I think what will happen is that when it goes around a corner, it'll flip 426 times! lol.
