Or even just detune the V8 in the M5/6.. I love me some 8 cylinders  |
small engine does not mean better MPG. just FYI.
those ford 5.0L GT mustangs get better MPG than a BMW 4.0L V8. hell a Z06 7L gets better than both engines.
the S65 being small and a high strung motor is actually what hurts MPG.
the S65 is a small motor that works hard for its power. a Z06 is a big motor car that works very little for its power. if that makes sense
i bet that new Z06 with a 6.2L S/C V8 600Hp+ will match a M4`s MPG.
