no replace ment for displacement
actually the technology with their V8 has progressed at the same pace as our stuff over here. While VVIT isn't in use I dont think, the SVT Mustang has fuel injection and variable length plenum. They dont all use carbs n stuff.
Not but they have also are looking at having cylinders that shut down so it goes from a V8 to a V4 in situations where your just cruising, idling and you dont neet to use all 8 cylinders.
