No shame whatsoever! Look at it this way: When I bought my 1986 Corvette new, it had 230 horsepower. That seemed like tons at the time. When I bought my 1994 Z28, it had a then-amazing 275 horsepower. It wasn't all that long ago that you had to order an aftermarket version of an F-body (like a Firehawk Firebird) to crack 300 ponies. So 300-plus hp in a more insurance-friendly V6 is an OUTSTANDING decision for a recent college grad. Crap, the V6 in my 1982 Firebird--the car I owned when I graduated from college in 1983--made a lousy 120 horsepower!
