Oh and to stay on topic that Honda/Acura test mule looks boring as shit. I would buy something else before that without even blinking an eye. Only Honda lovers will get excited about that thing.
Oh wait a bunch of you are Honda lovers . Having no real experience with Nissans besides jumping on the 240 bandwagon. Sorry guys you left yourself wide open for that comment with this thread. 
Oh and to head Option Zero off at the pass, ya it was a smart ass comment and yes I like other brands of cars. So get off your I only jock Nissan's high horse, this is a Nissan forum. Oh and this was tongue in cheek as well in case its lost on you. |
Above and below are tongue in cheek, in case its lost on you.
I'm not a Nissan fan.
I'm not any brand fan, except Aston Martin, which is my current motivation for getting my degree.
I don't even like cars.
In fact, I have no opinion on anything, so I'd pretty much have nothing to say but for...well, you.
to stay on topic, info from
Wikipedia on the V8 used in the Legend Max, which may or may not be the basis for the v8 in this "new rwd sedan"
In 2001, Mugen concentrated once more in the JGTC, the NSX winning two races, and finishing second (Mugen/Dome) and third (ARTA) in the series. More importantly, in June, the company announced development of the a new 4.0 L V8, dubbed MF408S, for the main prototype class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and American Le Mans Series. At the time, Mugen acknowledged that international sportscar racing was a new category for them. The concept of the MF408S was high power, compact size, durability and reliability. Mugen chose a 4.0 L normally aspirated engine because they felt through their experience in Formula 3 that restrictor size was key to performance. The idea was to save fuel with a smaller displacement engine, since, theoretically, restrictor size will bring power in any engine to a similar level. The main engines in use at the time were producing around 600 hp, including the turbocharged Audi and Cadillac, as well as the larger displacement BMW and the Roush-prepared Ford. Mugen excluded a turbo as this necessitated use of intercoolers to extract maximum performance, which added to the weight and reduced performance.
