it’s going to be a high reving motor… and 383ft/lbs is low torque for 590hp. LS7 still seems to be a better motor. ---

also throw in Ford’s 5.4L DOHC 4v SC engine, thats in the GT, thats an even better engine too… rated at 550bhp/550tq, yet putting down 545rwhp/540rwtq (650bhp/645btq) I’m not saying Honda can’t be a player in the V8 market, but they’ve got a lot of catching up to do. V8 isn’t really all about Horsepower, its about low-mid range torque, with high end horsepower as well. ---

Your comparing a motor that is 1.4L larger and is supercharged to this motor. i dont see how you can, now maybe if you compared an american 4.0L v8 to it then whatever. ---

🤣 @ you idiots whining about torque numbers. 600hp small displacement V8 that revs to 10,000 RPM’s. I cant imagine why its not making huge torque numbers. That car and motor are fucking badass. ---

what i think is even funnier is the fact that you guys are bitching about Honda not making torque. Honda proved you dont need torque to win races [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ls1-beware-honda-v8-concept/171790.md?page=2)
