2.0t or the v6 coupe

[kortERHorse_281]

Let me put it this way,

People buy supra because of 2jz
People buy R3x because of rb26dett
People buy evo because of 4g63
So I guess people buy Sti because of strong tranny? lol

really !?!? misinformation causes people to post like you.

count how many times you see the 2.0 EVO 4G63 and how many times you see the EJ255 2.5 STi engine. kthanks.

The International Engine of the Year Awards have become one of the most sought-after automotive accolades and an effective marketing tool for triumphant marques.

Judged by a panel of 65 renowned motoring journalists from 32 countries as disparate as the USA, Japan, China, Russia, New Zealand, India, Korea, Germany, France, Romania, South Africa, Mexico and the UK, the Awards highlight and acknowledge engine engineering excellence.

Judges apply their impressions from driving today's latest cars to help them find the powerplants that offer the best driveability, performance, economy, and refinement, and reward manufacturers for the successful application of advanced engine technology.

That list is the standard for comparing motors! Nothing else should factor in other than the listing! I wonder why some of the awesome engines didn't get to make to the list! (LS3, LS7, ferrari engines, lambo engines, porsche engines)

Wait a minute, I see 2004 winner is rx8's RENESIS. Oh, the almighty motor that makes less than 180ft/lbs of torque and gives 15mpg. And the STRONG boxer motor which makes 600whp without a problem and run 9sec on 93octane alone. Dude you are totally right, what am I thinking?

keep up with your justification, I'm really enjoying your comebacks.

Says the guy who doesn't know his own block designation and deck design.

You obviously have no idea what those guys factor in when deciding engine of the year. It's like C&D saying M3 wins over GTR. They compare engines in its STOCK form not in its modified state. You sir are a tool and ignorant when it comes to modifications and understanding F/I.

My comments are all true and informative whereas yours is nothing but truly "retarded". Go study some more on F/I and how combustion engines work then come back to me. LOL

How about taking your pissing matches and fanboisms to PM or email?! This thread is not about Evo's vs. STI's.

Let's get back on topic.

Thanks!

a post on topic 2.0t vs v6 ams is working on making a bullet proof 4b11t. should be easily made to work with the theta since pretty similar bottom ends.
http://www.buschurracing.com/ with the cars they do now a good bet would be they are gonna do the 2.0t so it should catch on to the rest of the dsm tuners like ams and turbo trix . so the 2.0t should blow up with after market when it hits.

only time will tell!

Last time I drove an Sti I yawned while accelerating. 2008 was the first year that the Sti had a "strong" transmission. Getrag, Tremec, Borg Warner, all names synonymous with transmissions. If Hyundai teamed up with any of these companies they wouldn't have to worry if people started making 1000whp with these things. Drive a Vette or a Viper then tell me your car shifts like butter. After seeing a 3.8 make over 300whp with I/E/T I'm kind of liking their DD appeal
