V8 is dead

Just flicking through local car mag (wheels i think) having a read about new vf dunnydore and I spot an interesting test with this so called 'world class" car comparing the 6.2lt V8 calais vs 4.0lt turbo six G6E foulcan, hemi V8 chrysler 300 and just for the hell of it an Audi A6 3.Olt V6 turbo diesel. Understandably the Audi had the best interior by far and also the most refinement but suprisingly the comparibly tiny twin turbo A6 left those knuckle dragging V8s in its diesel dust. One figure had me spellbound ......13.2 second quarter mile . Holy shit it smoked those big suckers and I didnt see a economy figure but I'm guessing the heavy luxo Audi might win that comparo too! Downside was price difference but I would have one diesel Audi over 2 chev powered holdens anyday.

The luxury German's get hammered in their resale too.

That $120,000 Audi A6 3.0 TDI, will be lucky to get $35,000, when comes time to trade it in 5 years time.

Then again, we all know all about poor resale, we maintain, restore and hot rod classic VWs!
