GM's new V8 gets downsized

[mattyk]

anyone think this engine will be more free-revving?.. they've done wonders since the LS1.... the LS2 in the vz/ve's feels alot lighter under foot, but could be sportier if it had a lighter feel. though guess the car has to cater for more than the sport-blooded feel...

[HamaTime™]

325kw - yummy. This should give the Coyote a run for it's money....wonder what the Torque figures are. would be interesting to see a dyno power graph....

[Albern]

hello guys....
bring on the 8litre... Gotta get me one too.

nah, need a 27L

Why is that?

[CSP]

Why is that?

Because they're a far superior, more powerful engine.

[Full Spectrum]

Just about all v8 motors are far superior in design. yet most still don't stand up against grandpas axe.

[jaffassv]

Because they're a far superior, more powerful engine.

Yeah they said that about the Ford Boss motors as well lol remind me whats happened to them now....

[torana355]

Nice now all Holden need to do is release a forced induction version of the 5.5L

Bullshit they put out almost exactly the same power as what this new GM engine is claiming.

Hahahaha!!! There are no official power figures yet. Just "around 440 horsepower" which is is 328kw. Coyote is 335kw. Plus the Coyote get 600Nm of torque and 9l/100km efficiency. Not to mention many years of performance improvements to come because the first release is so detuned. GM are scared of the new Coyote - and so they should be. About time Ford stopped pulling their punches.

5kw difference lmao. Get a clue mate. Lets wait and see the official power figures when its released as 5kw is nothing

And at a fraction of the development cost. and a performance parts list the size of Osama bin ladens hate mail. also these LS motors are very compact. Might be large in capacity, but small in dimension.

That's the blown version 335.

And your point is?

[Full Spectrum]

And your point is?

N/A vs FI there's no Point to comparing them.

[torana355]

And your point is?

The point is if you Charge the GM motor it will make a whole lot more then 335kw haha

Got proof?

The Coyote is deliberately detuned. Ford only have to beat what's currently available. The at 335kw and 600Nm currently, it does - EASILY. When something from GM is confirmed with more, the Coyote will be released with a better tune. Bottom line. Buy both the GM and the Ford V8, take them to a tuner and have the both optimised and the Coyote will come up trumps.

[CSP]

Not to mention that peak torque in the Coyote is available from just 2200rpm.....

[Full Spectrum]

That's the blower help. LS motors have been supercharged since Adam was a pup. and most guys on here know their LS motors are detuned - like a politically correct journalist.

[soop]

Because they're a far superior, more powerful engine.

GM haven't even released the new engine, probably a little early to be claiming that.

[Sphinx]

want forced GM product. Take ya pick. LS9 476Kw/819Nm, LSA 415Kw/747Nm. Should GM be worried.. err no. Oh, they're both detuned too to keep the eco warriors happy.
