dont understand why people who dont like V8's are watching this and then complaining?

Stop fighting and be open minded. All engines are good if they make the horsepower ratings needed for having fun.

@areuphlem Well if you can do that you should do it.

@lewisengines Interesting that you can't see that it does in fact have 90degree throws... watch it again..

Why do I constantly hear this noise of a cash register in the back of my head going 'cha-ching' all the time?? But hey that engineering blows me away, doing a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering really opens my eyes to this stuff!

[philliphamilton2]

[areuphlem]

wow all this money for a over head valve motor, i could of made this same motor for a quarter of that in my garage

@jimmycranberry single camshaft = less space required for the engine. Dual overhead cams take up a lot of space even though they are slightly more efficient. It sounds crazy but Corvettes still use them and they win the 24 Hours of Le Mans with it.
