Mean Machine: Falken's V8 350Z!

At the Formula D season opener, driver Tyler McQuarrie gave StreetFire all the specs on his Falken Tire V8 Nissan 350Z. With a machine like this, it's no wonder he's making the podium!

big block V8's are capable of 11k plus RPM's if built right, whats your point? 650 ft. pounds of torque @ 4000Rpms isn't extremely low by any means and has nothing to do with the rpm range, just that it makes a shit load of torque @ 4k verses some v6 needing to turn 5.5k to make 200 pound feet less. max torque ratings are always low in RPM's and have no outcome of what the engine is CAPABLE of turning.

V8's are for retards who just say "ya its got 600000 bhp at 4000 rpm... WOW!"

I myself would much rather something like a Japanese V6 that can produce as much bhp but rev higher
