Default Re: Point/Counterpoint: DOHC v OHV

One funny example I like to use is the L98 c4. Those guys will tell you for days that it's a 'torque monster' and then you should see their faces when they get pulled by a Honda S2000 with enough torque my lawn mower wouldn't even be jealous. Torque from a big cube pushrod motor to me is a recipe for good low speed torque via displacement , excellent fuel economy and greater service life due to low Rpms.
All of which is a formula for gms bread and butter .. Pickup trucks.
