well no shit! the jaguar AJV8 is NOT a modular engine just like the BMW S62 is NOT a modular engine. neither engine uses the modular architecture, neither engine is a part of the modular family.In that case, neither is the BMW S62.
Everyone is saying 400+hp for the 5.0L in the Mustang GT on REGULAR octane. I'm not buying it.
i'm not sure who 'everyone' is, or where the consensus that this engine would run on regular come from, but it's pretty ignorant. premium unleaded is recommended in the 6.2l LS3 camaro.
yep. and you seem to think that this is pretty much all the engine is capable of, as if A) the jag engineers are incapable of designing and NA 5.0l V8 that could possibly make that kind of power, or B) it's a physical impossibility for a 5.0l V8 to make this kind of power in a production form on pump gas. unless, of course, it's made from the same unobtanium with thermal dynamic modification that BMW uses.Sure it skews the results, in favor of the Jag. The Jag engine would only make less power with port injection. Direct injection is typically good for about a 10% increase in horsepower and torque.
i'm really not sure what your goal is here. either, A) you think the engineers at ford are just short of morons, or B) your arguing just for the sake of arguing. either way, it's getting old, and certainly isn't contributing anything positive to this discussion.
