Just a couple of pics to showcase an often debated topic. People love to preach horsepower/liter w/o realizing that it's irrelevant. What's more important is power/pound of the powerplant, or more simply power/overall size.

Here's the 5.0 OHV in the Panoz


Here's the 4.6 DOHC in the same car (sorry for the big picture)


Specific output is irrelevant as you can clearly see the "smaller" 4.6 motor is massive in comparison to the "larger" 5.0.

So are you asking is the 5.0 better than the 4.6?

This thread is retarded.

Is it because the engines are black?

I'm not asking anything... just illustrating the fact that specific output tends to be an irrelevant argument.
People often loose sight of the fact that overall size of the motor is more important than displacement.

Here's a better picture...

Those pics don't show the output.

David S12

that also...


i mean i can post some random pics and say w/e i want u need links and shit to back you up...

u can throw alot of "what ifs" at it but does it matter lol. i dont see the point in the thread any engine can have any internals aloowing it more hp even if its smaller...

Mid Atlantic Performance

The 4.6 4v makes 100 more hp than the 5.0




The weight of those 2 motors are about the same, If i remember right the 4.6 is just a bit lighter than the 5.0.
