But can you imagine the Can-Am Series being run with 4-bangers? Some people just want a V8
Formula 1 had screaming, howling Cosworth and Ferrari (and other) V8s for years, then went to screaming, howling V10's. Then most recently, they converted to hybrid drives with turbo 1.6L V6 engines. The cars are faster, more nimble, etc, etc... But the fans miss that noise. It's an integral part of the racing...
On a similar note (pun intended) how do you think turbo 4 bangers, no matter how fast they went, would be accepted in NASCAR??? Can you imagine the fans' outrage? Might as well piss on the Pope...
Yeah, sometimes it's good to have a V8.
