Default Question about the 2.8L engines

2.8 Liter V6 5V

Is that mine is, but howcome i rarely find topics on this?
Is this the weakest after the 2V in the 2.8 class?

God I hope my audi doesnt suck.

Sorry for a noobish question.

The 2.8l is the slowest and mostboring engine. But the most reliable. I own a 2.8 and wouldn't have it any other way.

Ok maybe I would take the 2.7, but I just don't even want to consider the upkeep on that motor. Even if the turbos make it to 150k, I still don't want to replace them ever. I am too cheap, and I already think the 2.8l has too much power.

i got the 2.8 30v, don't know why people dog it so much, i'm undefeated on the highways, beat my boysmaximas, acuras, gto, v6 mustang, vw jetta, vw golf, fullymodded02 accord, ate this supra.


honestly the only car that gave me a good run was theGTO, when i was going 130 he was almost right next to me i didn't know american cars could even make it to that speed, figured it go 130 then blow up lol

yeah the 2.8 might be pokey at lower speeds but it runs good on the highway, i can out run my friends 94 5.0 mustang 5-speed between 70 and 135, i let off cause that was fast enough but it was still goin. Superior audi aeros!

GIAC software makes it a whole different car... every one of my passengers has noticed the difference.
