Why the craze in 4 bangers?
I'm 18, and I'll never drive a 4 banger. There's no mistaking the rumble, and torque that comes from a V8. Hopefully, the future will make room as well, in light of the more economically minded car builders - V8s will never die if I have anything to say about it!

they are cheaper and they want to be like everyone else. if there was a new movie with nothing but trucks there would be an increase in trucks. just like the motorcycle with the biker boyz movie

Stupid people. Namely thje car manufacturers. How many 4 and 6cylinder models available vs 8 cylinder models. They are more profitable, just like fwd, it's all about the suits making more money. <edited><editID>DW-03GT</editID><editDate>37980.7302314815</editDate></edited>

We could discuss the pros and cons of I4 vs V8 all day. Price, insurance, ease to mod, gas milage, etc. For me, you cannot beat the sheer bang for the buck of a V8, namely a mustang. Yes there are some fantastic I4s out there as well as many imports that have really good taste, but they'll never feel the rumble.</P>

Yah, there is no way to beat the sound of a V-8...BUT those smaller motors are gettin pretty wild...with money you can make anything fast......i now own 2 mustangs and a 92 tsi talon.....you gatta admit that 2.0 litre is pretty amazin and you can have 300hp for cheaper then 300hp in a mustang.....not cuttin the stang but when you play with turbos you can make huge power for no$$$$$...thats my 2 cents worth.....dont worry...will sell the talon before i sell both mustangs...
