YACT: How many cylinders do you prefer?

[bradw]

Just curious, how many cylinders do you prefer your engine to have???

Straight Six ftw

I've got a Straight Six in the truck and a V6 in the car. It's enough power to move fast or tow something, yet gets decent gas milage.

Give me a turbo 4 and I'm happy

 

[bradw]

I've got an RB26DETT in my project car at the moment, it farken hammers...

I've only drove a 4 banger and a 6. Id like to drive a 12 or a supercharged or turbocharged car though.

Turbines are way cooler than piston engines.

Where's the poll option for 3? No love for the the small motorcyles? Where are 2 and 1?

RB26DETT. It has TWO turbochargers = lotsa fun in the wet

6. Better gas mileage than an 8, and enough power to run the AC and drive up a hill at the same time.

Oh yeah i forgot all about motorcycles... oh well...

 

[TheSlamma]

4 banger that gets over 40MPG

 

[LordMorpheus]

8, for the lazy power, the sound, and the fact that the ford 4.6 is a wonderfully easy motor to maintain.

4. 120m/day commute.

And it does run the AC up a hill... if I downshift.

 

[BobDaMenkey]

I'll say 6. I only have driven 4's as personal vehicals, but my dad's v6 truck moves pretty decently, and my uncles Ram 1500 v8 is honkin huge (compared to my Mitsubishi Mighty Max 4 banger, or my 82 BMW 320i).

6 still gets good gas milage, but has a bit more pep. And if you do the right things 6s can be mighty powerful.

 

[EngenZerO]

6 then coupled with fi (e.g. turbo or sc)

 

[batmang]

4, i like my 30-33mpg. (scion xB)

[Unheard]

V6 239ci in my truck, V8 305ci in my Jeep

 

[lozina]

I like 6 the best... but a turbodiesel 4 is a close second

 

[loic2003]

two!

 

[Mermaidman]

Currently at 4.0L 8, would prefer fuel-efficient 6.

No option for five?

 

[Estrella]

ZOMG, the greatest engine evar IMO the SUPRA mk4 straight six.......so sexxee

 

[monk3y]

4 has served me just fine.
