6, I won't count my lawnmower or snowblower because I hate them. :lol: I will say that the new V6 Pentastar in my Wrangler does have a decent amount of power for a 6, though. Nothing compares to my old 67 LTD with a 428PI, though. That thing was a monster...and got 6 mpg. lol

I think counting horsepower would make more sense since nowadays there's some 4 and 6 bangers making more power than some V8's. :D

But the rules are clear and I'm running way short!

2003 Honda Civic - 4
2008 Infiniti G37 coupe - 6

Horsepower is not as easy to define as number of cylinders.

CRGuitarMan...I knew there was something I liked about you besides all those purty geetars...That is one Sweet looking 74! A C3 is on my wish list...especially a nice L82 "Corvette Medium Blue" one like that...just something about blue Vettes I like!

Of course I can't count my brothers Red 96 Corvette and it's 8 cylinders, even if I did let him park it in my garage during his recent trip here...but just to get back on topic...

05 Corvette 8
10 Equinox 6
04 Grand Am 6
12 Colorado 4

I don't need cylinders to make me a man :lol:


+1 :lol:

In 1977 (a younger self and perhaps manlier or perhaps not :lol: ) I bought one of theseImage known at the time as a chick magnet so perhaps my number in the cosmos would be 8 = 460 CI a hard choice over another popular land-yacht at the time Image where 8 = 500 CI, ah the good old days :lol:

Continental MKIII I believe? First time I heard Toys in the Attic was in a yellow MKIII, 8 track of course. I believe we nearly wore out the tape before the drive had the chance to eat it.

Sable - 6 (I don't consider it a hot rod mercury)
BMW K1200 - 4
Mercedes SL600 - 12

My gas lawmover in a pain in the a@! to start so got an electric, prolly not very manly but I've got a small yard now.

It will. :P

You have to be a little careful when breaking in an engine running 20% Nitro before you fly.

NOPE! That is a NO FORD ZONE! Unless I hit the lottery, then maybe I would go for a Ford GT, but that would be the ONLY Ford I would consider!
