THE ACTUAL THINGS THAT MAY BE ON THE TABLE, NOT SOME HYPOTHETICAL TTV8 THAT MAKES YOU (coloquial you, not literal you) FEEL BETTER THAN OTHER PEOPLE (not me specifically) WITH 2 LESS CYLINDERS.

Maybe you need to spool down your turbos and stop making hypocritical accusations of incorrect context. The point is that I am just stating facts and you are jumping to wild conclusions based on what appears to be some sort of insecurity related to some engine specification. If you have a beef with "a few others" take it up with them. I don't speak for a group.

Stop trying to put down someone who contributes facts to a discussion because I cannot read your mind and know beforehand which facts to avoid mentioning to avoid triggering your capitalized defensive emotional outbursts.

Have a swell day!

So, if you already make two engines and can add a turbo to either one of them for the same amount of work/cost, when why limit the turbo to the wimpier of the two?

That's what we're talking about.

I simply said "A" twin turbo V8 would provide higher performance numbers than "A' similarly aspirated V6. I never said I had either one and I have no clue what you have anyhow.

You might as well be taking me to task for stating that 23 is higher then 12 or V comes after J. I merely made simple statements of facts that do not deserve your sarcastic rebukes.

the words highlighted are you're opinion and not fact. gretchen makes a valid point of what your stance is about v8's vs v6's, you should apologise to him and this forum, imvho.

I don't think Gretchen will hear the apology, but her owner might.

I apologise for not understanding, but what do you mean that "her owner might." ?

Gretchen is the name of the car. It is owned by a man.

No problem! Always give my vehicles a female name so the anonomous nature of the web makes it confusing.
