which would be best to you? do you want best mpg or best power, dependable or all-out race engine?
for me k8 is pretty good, dependable, not best mpg but its V6 so its not too bad. Could use more power of course, highway can get up to ~130mph which is not bad.

All i got under the hood right now is stock 1.8 with cold air intake and exhaust, ive gotten it up to 220 km/h so far, and thats downhill on a straight, but i want to know the all out best motor for like racing, like, what will give me the shortest time on a quarter mile.

Well obviously the one with most power will give you quicker 1/4 mile times. That would be the ZE.

The ZE will be the best stock but if you're going to make a race motor the KLDE and the KLZE are basically the same after you get lower compression pistons and all that except the DE has stronger valves for turbo.

Also, the KLDE is the stock 2.5L and theres another V6, its called the KFZE and its a 2.0L 170hp but its nothing special.

What's 'twinked'? Does that mean to be made more gay? That's what it sounds like.

In that cas the four cylinders would be the best, you have the most room to stick some flower power, unfortuneately the 6 cylinders take up so much room it'd be hard to even stick in a teddy bear.

From the dictionary:

Twink - n. Derived from gay slang for a cute young thing with nothing upstairs.

So he wants his car to be like a cute, stupid gay boy.

ZE for sure. but DE is pretty good. I do think the ZE is faster and know that but Theres not much of a difference between the 2. There both pretty close and both motors have there goods and bads
