No intelligent car owner neither needs nor wants a V-8.
The world's most stupid automaker - GM – has designed a Camaro with 400 horsepower. About as much horsepower as an 18 wheeler. Why? The car is so crappy t as to hype horsepower to fools.
That V-6 is massive overkill. Biggest Full size cars with a largest V-8 were excessively fast with a 200 horsepower engine. The Cosworth Mustang with so much horsepower is almost impossible to locate. With excessive horsepower, most of them crashed. Why would any small call need 260+ horsepower? They are selling to the same people who also believed anything George Jr said.
Original 240-Z was supposed to be called the Bluebird - on orders from Datsun HQ. Fortunately, a marketing man in CA used the design code rather than 'Bluebird' to sell it.
240-Z was a marketing prototype. A superior Z was the 260-Z. For example, no more carburetor. It was fuel injected. GM cars would not use fuel injection until required by government regulations some ten years later. |
