To me a car that takes 14 seconds to do this is not fast as a matter of fact correct me if I am wrong you have to almost push it up to the top of a hill. If a car does 0 — 60 in 8 sec it has some guts no speed demon, if you do it in 5 or under you have the need for speed. Now I am not up to date my current car is 18 years old tells you how much I love dealing with car sales people but why is there not an interpretation mandatory of dealerships that talk your language that you understand instead of talking a language you have no clue about what it is saying.
Before purchasing a car, we should first keep some valuable things in our mind such as; features, engine capacity, design, performance and mileage. But the most efficient part if engine section; we should go for efficient engine and its features which consist of turbochargers, good horsepower and many others.
So that, we can get a good driving experience. Is there a simple formula for a rough educated guess? So then the question becomes how is displacement important? Click here to cancel reply. Name required. Mail will not be published required.

For those wishing to produce the most power possible from an engine, increasing the displacement is always an option. This is done by boring out the cylinder walls and putting in thicker pistons, and also by installing a longer stroke crank, which causes the pistons to travel farther.
The popular Chevy is a Chevy that has been bored and stroked to 33 inches of greater displacement. Can you have too much displacement? The short answer is no. The long answer is not that easy, of course. Larger displacement tends to mean bigger and heavier pistons that have to travel a farther distance.
This kills rotational inertia and will result in a lower revving, a less "spunky" or "eager" engine, which can also mean it is less responsive. Taken to an extreme, this can result in a slower engine, and over boring an engine can weaken the cylinder walls.
There was an old saying in racing circles that "there's no replacement for displacement. Advancing technologies have put modern small displacement engines in competition with older, larger displacement engines. Of course, it is possible to create a liter engine that has really bad performance. And it is also possible to create a 1-liter engine that is highly tweaked to give absolutely the best performance possible from the gasoline it receives.
And these two engines could have the same horsepower rating even though one has 10 times more displacement than the other. As a general rule, though, a liter engine should generate 10 times more power than a 1-liter engine if everything else is equal. Sign up for our Newsletter! Mobile Newsletter banner close.
