List of 'Must Experience' engines
What's your list of 'try before i die' engines? Maybe we can make a list.
I definitely think the S54 (ideally in z4mc form) worth adding to a list, likewise the M156.

A stage 3 tuned Suzuki rg500 square 4 two-stroke is definitely on most bikers lists, it’s a thinly disguised gp replica of Barry Sheenes bike. Laughingly described as road legal nothing like it has been made since
Mine exploded about a month after I px’ed it back to the bike shop I bought it from, leaving half it’s gearbox contents spread over the A127 Southend arterial road
I’ve owned around 50 bikes but this is the one that stands out from the rest Rob

Any proper old school honda vtec engine. I had a b16a2 (i think) in an old civic, 160bhp from a 1.6 litre naturally aspirated. Revved to 8000rpm. Proper schizophrenic engine, above 5500rpm it came alive.

The V8 in the F430 Scuderia sounds absolutely magical from the drivers seat. I can still hear it to this day, even though it was a good 10 years ago I drove one

Thats funny, the first thing that came into my head was a 500cc 2 stroke although I was thinking of a CR500 motocrosser.Smartbear wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 3:11 pm A stage 3 tuned Suzuki rg500 square 4 two-stroke is definitely on most bikers lists, it’s a thinly disguised gp replica of Barry Sheenes bike.

What would be awesome is if we have access to any of these as a group and can share the experience via passenger rides etc It doesn't always have to be driven to be experienced.
My fiance sat in the back of a GTC4Lusso was enough to convince her i need one

Aston Martin cosworth V12.
It's hiding away there in many an old Aston. The current ultimate version in the Valkyrie.

Best engine I've had is the one I've got now by a country mile, but then it is an M156...
I had a B18C in an Integra Type-R which was good fun too.
I'd still like to try an S54, Aston Martin V12, F12 TDF and Porsche GT3 RS 4.0.
