I like to have tq available at low RPMs and not wind up the engine like all the new V6s/I4s that are in the market today.

Well try a high performance straight six, such as an RB26DETT, and see how long it takes for the engine to wind up....

Jesus, how many times are you going to mention that stupid combination of letters and numbers?

Firstly, it's quiet obvious that my name is Brad, not Jesus. Secondly, your uneducated input is not appreciated. That "stupid combination of letters and numbers" is clearly too stupid for your mind to handle, this is what it means:
RB is the engine code used by Nissan to denote the engine type. 26 means 2.6 litre, D refers to the dual overhead cam setup, E refers to the electronic (multi point) fuel injection, and TT means twin turbo.

Is that stupid enough for you???

What's stupid is that you feel the need to inject it into every post. It's like a kid who just learned a new word and uses it in every sentence whether it belongs there or not.
 
4 cylinder. I like small, light, high revving cars (civic, rsx, wrx, etc).

My cousins lincoln navigator redlined at 4k or something weird like that...oddest thing I ever saw.
 
YACT = ? Yet another car thread?

I prefer my quad skates. I strap up my 4 wheeler skates 10+ times for every time I key up one of my cars (4 bangers). And I guess I take my bike out 5+ times.

Ditto. I'm very happy to hear that VW will start offering the Sport Package on the 2.0T Passats. I'm thinking a 2.0T Passat Wagon will be a good kiddie hauler in a few years. I just hope that when I go to buy they'll have the DSG's in them instead of the Tips.

Good choice, the DSG is an awesome transmission.

I'm really on the fence about this. On one hand, I love my wife's 2.0T but on the other, I really like the refined power from my V8. I'd personally say that there's a place for both. If I want to have fun I'll take the 2.0T but if I'm just going to be cruising, it's the V8 all the way.
 
The inline 6 or v12 is the perfect engine.

The poll is missing the 5 cylinder, and I have one that would outrun most everyone else here. 😛

I read your post.. and I just can't stop laughing. :laugh:
 
Once you've driven a Viper with 10 and all that low rpm power its hard to like anything else! The engine just ALWAYS wants to go. No need to get the revs up.

and wheres the option for 3 and 5? no love for geo metro and volvo's?

That's right, no love for the geo metro and volvo's... But, who cares???
 
Straight 6. More power than a 4, but doesn't use as much gas as an 8.

If I could find one of those drop top Mitsubishi Spyders for cheap, I'd buy one in a minute. The 6's in those things cranked 🙂
