Todd ChamblessHOST
Yeah
Jerry ReynoldsHOST
... to this one that's, that kinda is the opposite of that and, you, you know, more about choice and people making choices, and if you want a V8, get yourself a V8.
Todd ChamblessHOST
Mm-hmm.
Jerry ReynoldsHOST
Uh, so I think more than anything there will be more choices with, with not as stringent EPA standards, fuel economy, corporate average fuel economy standards as, you know, what we've had in recent times.
JonHOST
The fifth and final generation debuted for 78, now based on the A-body chassis shared with the Regal, Grand Am, and Malibu, among others.
JonHOST
Smaller but on a longer wheelbase, it came in three trims, El Camino, Conquista, and SS, and with four engine options, a 3.3 liter and a 3.8 liter V6, and a 305 and 308 V8s.
JonHOST
Also offered in 78 was the extremely rare Black Knight option, later renamed as the Royal Knight.
JonHOST
In 82, it got a new look with quad rectangular headlights and an optional 350 cubic inch diesel.
AdamHOST
I only come from a Mercury side.
AdamHOST
So I understand that for me the V8s are a lot easier to work on than the smaller ones.
JakeGUEST
Yeah, no.
JakeGUEST
So with the Suzuki's, if anything, the smaller stuff sort of, 30 horsepower and down is actually a little bit harder.
Kunal ShahHOST

Kunal ShahHOST
I would love a V8 engine, which is fine.
Kunal ShahHOST
Okay, drivers would love it.
Kunal ShahHOST
But what I was amazed by is that the FIA social media handles made a quote out of it and then shared it on social media.
Tony MoclairHOST
I think that's brilliant.
Sean Woody WoodwardHOST
Yeah, because I loved V8s when I was a kid.
Sean Woody WoodwardHOST
But no, look, something that I've always wanted to do is go to a Bathurst 1000.
Sean Woody WoodwardHOST
So it'd be interesting to see if anyone has gone.
Tony MoclairHOST
I think that's brilliant.
Sean WoodwardHOST
Yeah, because I loved V8s when I was a kid.
Sean WoodwardHOST
But, no, look, something that I've always wanted to do is go to a Bathurst 1000.
Sean WoodwardHOST
So it would be
RoseHOST
Oh, okay.
RoseHOST
So the 302 has a super small intake and is one of the most narrow V8s that there is, where the 351 is super wide.
RoseHOST
And that's because they have a higher deck, so they can have a longer stroke.
RoseHOST
Okay.
BenHOST
He wants
JamesHOST
the return of V8s.
JamesHOST
He wants that as soon as possible.
JamesHOST
I don't think he's the only one.
Damian CastroHOST
I don't know if you guys...
Damian CastroHOST
I'm age-dating the hell out of myself with this one, but it really reminds me of the old-school Formula 1 V12, V10, V8 era, where they were just...
Damian CastroHOST
Absolutely screaming on track.
Damian CastroHOST
And that's what the Valkyrie does for me.
JimHOST
It's coming up to Halloween.
JimHOST
We could do rattly chain stories about ghosts and 5 litre V8s, couldn't we? My chains are absolutely fine.
JimHOST
I shall have you know.
MikeHOST
