I haven't ever heard a Yota V-8 or other foreign V-8 that sounded like American muscle. But I've also been out of the motorhead world for a long time.
The 5.7 in the 2008 Tundra I had sounded pretty damn good with an aftermarket exhaust on it.

This is refreshing to hear from somebody that really owns one ! Thanks for the insight Nashville TJ
So what do they see in a twin turbo LS?
The 2JZ is ditching twins and moving to a single larger turbo to acheive that 750hp. A twin turbo LS without major internal work could hit close to the +/-1000 range IIRC
Which Hemi though? because the 2JZ is an I-6 capable of 2000hp.So it seems the LS can probably outrun the turbo’d/procharged hemi.
I thought we weren’t building the engines. Need to plant these goal posts.Which Hemi though? because the 2JZ is an I-6 capable of 2000hp.
A true Hemi V-8 dressed up with twins like you're suggesting for the LS and the LS isn't winning shit!!

Stock for stock with whatever forced induction you can get, I’m picking the LS.
I think for this debate it should be as they came from the factory. No added anything.
A 5.7 (semi hemi btw=less hp) hemi can turn out 1000 without any internals changed out. So should we start including the larger higher performance "hemi" engines that mopar has an abundance of right now?
Or should we harken back to the days of old iron to an Elephant strapped with twins and a toilet bowl for a carb?
I'm not seeing 1000 hp LS engines lasting very long either.I’m not seeing 5.7’s lasting very long with 1000 HP.
You're not finding any of the 3 engines above in a junk yard any time soon...You aren’t finding Hellephants in the junk yard.
You can buy Mustangs new with 1300 HP, but not at a pull a part.
