Says who? Your pimple-popping high school friends? What makes you think the Japanese have such poorer safety standards than the U.S.? And shatter-proof windshields are the standard for all road cars. It has nothing to do with dispersing the impact across the whole windshield. And it's not high horsepower that kills citizens, it's idiot drivers who do a fine job of that.
Wrong. Street size has nothing to do with it. The Japanese are just clever enough to be able to make smaller engines that make just as much power as American V-8s.
So now that we've established the fact that you don't know shit about cars, maybe you need to stop talking like you do. Your arguments are some of the worst I've ever read, backed by little or no research beyond what your high school friends say. The number of the engine refers to the number of cylinders it has. You're 16, trying to brag about how you think "your" GTO (that you don't own and probably won't own ever) is all fast, yet you don't even know one type of engine from another? Man, you're dumber than I thought.
For one thing, the cylinder is the shape of a CYLINDER, not a V. "V" refers to how the cylinders are setup. Inline engines state that the cylinders are all lined up next to each other. In a V-8, it has two rows of four cylinders, arranged in a "V" shape. And the reason why Japan doesn't use it too often is because they build mostly four-cylinders. An inline-six is still feasible, and is the setup BMW has used for years. But when it comes to eight cylinders, an engine with them setup inline would be too long, so that's why they're all V-8s, V-10s, V-12s, etc.
Simply put, you need to stop posting out of defense because you are just WRONG about the majority of the things you are saying. Have you even driven a GTO? Or any of the cars we've discussed? Or even a car with a manual transmission? We're not attacking you because you're 16 or because your favorite car is the GTO or whatever, but because you're trying to talk down to us like you know better, but then you talk about how you aren't as big of a car guy as us yet you are compelled to continue trying to school us on what car is better. Then you go off trying to make fun of the guys who live overseas as a pathetic effort to save face. You've got a lot to learn, and not just about cars.
