ooo ... watched it also.. the 5pm 1... very nice..
especially the Race Queens... :P
wonder if they will show another drifting event soon

 

[acbc]

That GTO... still using old American engine technology... push rod! :(

 

[MK84]

Push rods still have their advantages compared to OHC. Especially in a Vee.
Anyway for all intents and purposed, the Pontiac GTO is a rebadged Holden Monaro.

voltron, thanx. I'll check it out.

Weight, specifically weight balance.

 

[trancebum]

MK...push rods good meh? they cant rev hi (usually max out at bout 6k or less) for a NA car. rev any higher, there goes the entire valve train. other than having HUGE displaments 400+cubic inches of displacement....the engine itself can be considered as dinasaur age. other than that, the engine itself is quite simple. i wonder if there's mechanic here in m'sia tat has seen one...let alone fix it!! but i do love the sound of the chevy big block V8's.....fantastic! oya...those cars also drink petrol faster u can say 'o shit!! i need to pump more gas!!' :lol: :lol:

back to the show...there was this 1 black VERY WIDE bodied car...anyone know what that car was? the front head lights looked a bit like the dodge viper....but i dont recall any other american cars other than the GTO, which was factory sponsored from GM.

 

[OSFlanker]

I was told the Chevy V8 has another advantage - cost. You can order direct from GM for around USD1k plus. That's cheaper than half cuts here and it's brand new direct from manufacturer!!!!

Aiyoo read properly lah. I said they have their advantages, I never said they're good.

Ok think about this for a while. Compare the heads for pushrod vs OHC. Which one is heavier? Of course this only applies to Vee engines.

The black car is the Eclipse Viper, Tarzan's car.

trance: i think u're referring to the S15?

.

Are you making assumptions that because a pushrod engine head has less moving parts so the are definately lighter than OHC heads?Even if that's true , in what way will it make it a well balanced engine???LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL..

 

[MK84]

Not assumptions, facts presented rather. As for balance, would you rather have all those weight on top or bottom? I know la u like it on top LOLOLOLOL.

 

[.S K A G E E.]

Ok..So "facts" has it that push rod engine have lighter heads and a well balanced engine consititute of having all its weight at the bottom..hmmmm..LOLOLOLOLOLOL

please don't whack kau me..

 

[coldair]

I have a push-rod..!, anybody wants one?....lololololol....

 

[MK84]

Who's making the assumptions now I wonder.... LOLOLOLOLOL
